T206 Johnson Portrait pricing, the new Green Cobb?

[bounce]

Sovereign backs have been hot for over a year. especially those in PSA 4 and up. I definitely think that played a big role in this one.

I personally think the bidding was waaaay overdone on this specific card, but it is a pretty low pop.

As someone who isn't that much of a back freak, I'd rather have a common back PSA 6 for just over half the price of this one and spend the rest on something else.

For what it's worth, one might characterize the bidding on the WaJo Sov as "thin" -- the second underbidder topped out at $8700.

There were not multiple bids stacked around the final price. The consignor must be happy that "r***o (693)" put in his/her snipe.

Not that thin as 4 individuals were willing to pay over $8600 for it. Given the $4600 selling price on ebay mid last year thats up close to 90% in a year, seems pretty good to me.

Using PWCC results as evidence of market trends is dangerous. Just ask anyone who bought Clemente rookies in late summer of 2016.

To be fair, that manipulation was not limited to PWCC auctions; it was evident across many venues. Look at Goodwins “results” from that time.

OK....if this crazy "price hyping" continues, I'm tempted to pull these out of their respective sets and consign them to "hi-bidder" auctions. And, wait for the "big $$$$" to roll in

Great cards Ted!

I have one and debated trying to do a back run as this is tied for my favorite card image. Seeing what the prices are starting to do, I wish I had jumped in on the run 3 years ago when I started getting the itch to do it.
