What did you win in Heritage?

[Griffins]

Zimmerman is an unbelievably tough card. Last time it was offered it sold for $2500.
Weaver is relatively easy. Bridwell that was in the big lot of Tango's is extremely tough too. Both lots were steals IMO.

It wasn't the Zimmerman that surprised me, but Weaver. Most issues Weaver gets a big premium, even when the pop to other cards in the series is higher. Look at 1911 Zeenut, Weaver is not that hard a card to find, but he demands a huge premium, while the much scarcer Heitmuller large pose gets barely a bump (hi tbob).

I had a quick question about Heritage. I was looking at some of the 19th century cards and noticed the 1887 Old Judge John L. Sullivan. It was graded PSA 1 (much nicer looking but with some paper loss on the back). HA set the estimate at $2K+. That seemed high and I found that a similar card graded SGC 3/40 sold on PWCC last December for $620. Where does Heritage get their estimate? Some of the ones on my watch list sold for less than 60% of the estimate (68 Bench PSA 10). Are they just trying to increase the sale price or do these estimates come from somewhere?

Their estimates are all over the board - I've seen estimates that are 5x what the selling price should be, and the items don't get any bids at all. And then there are items that go 5x what the estimates say, since they low-balled it.

As tempting as it can be (and I certainly look at what their estimates state), try not to pay too much attention to them, and as you did, look for similar recent sales to give you a better ballpark of what to expect to pay.

I was shut out on T206s but not for lack for trying. I managed runner-up on the Speaker Cycle, Clarke Sovereign, Bender SC and WaJo old mill.

"Settled" for the T213 WaJo and E102 Crawford. Nice additions to my player collections

What did you think of $40,000 for the W600 Plank?

Understand that w600 Plank uniform is tough, but that's Ruth/Cobb money to me... not Eddie Plank.

along those lines, $60,000 for the W600 Lajoie? Green mount? Maybe a 24 karat gold mount!!!
