My Unique Goudey 1933 High-Grade Pop Report Rankings

[RGold]

Well, I was trying to help, not wanting to argue.

I AM heavily invested in Goudeys so I hope your impression of the market is true. Goudey prices have shown a glimmer of strength in the last two months. Goodwin Auctions had a very successful offering of SGC high grades that were newly graded.

The PWCC eBay auctions were ok. The ones a few weeks ago were mostly your run of the mill commons, SMR $385, and that's pretty much what they brought. Last night's auctions included some very tough low pop commons and the prices were good but not records. But believe me, I was glad to see good prices because 1930's card prices have been so stagnant the last 5 years.

Another positive for the Goudey market has been the increase in Babe Ruth SMR prices.

As for your analysis, whatever works for you.

Yes, I noted SGC prices for those also rose--a sure sign of...something. As you know, they are far from favored for the '33s. Maybe that is changing slightly.

Finally took closer look at that Goodwin auction last month with all those SGCs for Goudey 33s and impressed more than ever with price hikes. Only for the 8s or 8.5s but that's only what I'm interested in, anyway. And again, people do seem to, loosely, follow pop reports (and HOFers).
