Pedigree cards

[bbnut]

Is that a premium from a card without a stamp or a card with a mark or "joe blow" stamp? In general, how much does a stamp (or a mark) bring down the card's value?

I happily paid a huge premium for 3 cards from the Ted Williams collection. There is only one other person I would pay a premium for.

I am not a card collector, but I will pay a premium for what I call associational items, especially books that were owned by someone important to the author or related to the subject matter in some way. I would think the same would apply to cards that belonged to collecting pioneers or ball players. The closest I have to an associational Card is the Warren cdv of George Wright that was his own copy.

That is a rather subjective and relative question. It depends on what the stamp looks like and where it is. How distracting is it?

As for provenance and paying for it, as mentioned I would pay a little more for some items, not all.

That said, and I like it, but the premium is sometimes overshadowed by the card.

I guess maybe the better (at least from an objective standpoint) question would be how it would grade? Let's take, for example, the typical purple name backstamp on an otherwise T206 that would grade a 5. Does it differ per grading company?

Great card Leon. Here's another Lionel Carter card. I'm sure he had plenty of T206's to choose from and picked this one. I'm honestly not sure why it's only an SGC40.

Nice Marquard. I think it didn't get a higher grade because Rube didn't want to smile while they were making your card.

Brian (smiles get instant grade bumps from me)

I believe that there should be a premium. Knowing the pedigree of a card and that it hasn’t been altered should add value.

I've had quite a few Lionel Carter's that were altered like this E90 Demmitt.
He was an avid collector & would get a "filler" for his set & try to upgrade it later
