David Hall T206 sale -- part 2

The Bat On 7.5 sure looked to me like it had a crease in the upper left corner.

Wasn’t David Hall in the room when Mastro’s handiwork was given an 8? His entire collection is one big conflict of interest.

David claims his Wagner has no creases but just trimmed on the sides.... he definitely see things differently... go figure!

I would surmise not only was he in the room but it was his decision. It was his company.

Whatever card owns serial number 00000001 needs to be HUGE!!! (In fact serial number 00000002 was also a Wagner)

Hall said this exactly at a PSA lunch at the Baltimore National (if memory serves me right) a number of years ago.

Does anybody have any thoughts as to what the sale prices reveal about the market, and whether the market is adjusting to reflect concerns over alterations?

PSA 8 Bat Off Cobb - $60K; PSA 7.5 Bat On Cobb - $36K; PSA 8 Red Portrait Polar Bear Cobb - $88K; PSA 7 Green Portrait Cobb - $66K (I believe)....no bidding restrictions at all on the Cobb’s with several of those price tags record values. Butchered Wagner $540K....OMG!!!! Market is very strong.

I thought the prices were strong. The Barbeau did very well. I grabbed this Ginger Beaumont. I probably paid too much, but I like the card. Beaumont was a good player that is not in many card series. Rob

I believe the market continues to be strong. The hobby still has many great deals out there. It's just a matter of being at the right place at the right time. As far as David Hall's Part 2, I didn't bid on any mainly because nearly all cards are common front/back combo's. I've never been a fan of high grade cards. I didn't spend much time viewing the cards closely. Always bid on the card and not the holder. Learn how to grade your own cards and everything will be fine.
