Should I pick up these silks?

[Alexcards]

Some really strong prices on S74 silks in this past Heritage auction... Cobb SGC3 / Turkey Red Back White went for $1500 (still think this is low), SGC4 colored Cobb $1860, colored Walter Johnson SGC5.5 $1380, colored Mathewson SGC6 $1680. I think there is real value and upside to these silks even at these higher prices.

I think the color ones are sleepers. It seems like most of what's available is from the black and white set ...

Wow! I had no idea the S74s had moved this much since I was paying attention to them. When I auctioned my set of six different WaJo colored silks about ten years ago, I think I got about $600 for the lot of them. I thought that was ridiculously low at the time, and now I know it was! I guess they're not under the radar any more! B-18s to follow suit?

Of course, the Heritage examples are in really great condition. I wonder if the TPGs can tell if loose threads have been cut off S74s?
