Nice one. I picked this up.

I recognized the Jack Pollard name that these T206 cards came from as the same collector who had an awesome tip-top shape collection of Obaks that was auctioned off about 8-10 years ago. According to REA, it sounds like they will have more from his collection this upcoming year.

I bid on 4 cards and was shut out. But I have many fond memories of Mr Pollard who was happy to share his knowledge of all things related to rare and obscure Baseball cards especially tobacco issues.
I bought many odd type cards from him and the talked my Dad into a 1940 Playbal set that we picked up from him at the First Philly show ( Spring Garden college). I do hope that whoever grades the rest of his collection notes on the flips the cards came from his collection. He Deserves the recognition.

That's a beauty. I got a few things...nothing earth shattering but a Joss and 2 Black Sox for my burgeoning T206 collection.

I did not win this one... .but curious on what you all think. If you covered the grades, and put this in a pile of PSA 5s, I'd take this one all day. However, another user suggested to me this was only worth $3k.

We talk about 'buying the card'. With 3s and 4s now going in the $4-$5k range, are you going to tell me that rounded, fuzzy corners and surface wear are preferable to barely noticeable pin holes?

$6600 was the steal of the draft imo.

How does that thing end up as a "2"?

What am I missing?

my understanding is that technical grading rules requires a pin-hole to be 2 at best. pin holes are not designated "A" by any of the TPGs.

Yeah, looks like there are two pinholes in the bottom border. Odd that someone would hang it that way.

a polar bear o'hara in a 5 holder for more than $28,000! wow! pwcc sold an sgc 5 about a year ago for $6,600.

Got shut out on the "big, big" boys so got some nice eye appeal somewhat under the radar goodies.

Went for centering and clean looking which is usually an easy buy in SGC holders!

I got bumped on the Magie error so HAD to grab the mesmerizing Magee.

Elberfeld NY SGC 4 was the steal of the night for me (with only 6 total PSA slabbed examples of that back combo SC 150/25 and the highest being a 4) I woke up very happy to have gotten that for a little over $200. I use the PSA pop report because its easier for me to read!

Brown, Lundgren, Matty, and Cobb were all VERY nice to see this morning also!

Peace, Mike
