T206 Cross Tolstoi is going to set a record...not compared to the others...but exciting to watch.

The Ruth is the only one I could even make an educated guess as to the value, and even though I've been keeping an eye on recent sales prices they are still hard to predict.

I'm surprised by the Brown's current price, for a non-major sport card. I've either way underpaid for similar T cards or this price is already awfully high. Gorgeous set, fairly undervalued until a few years ago when it seemed the 4 baseball players really drove broader interest than these issues normally get.

But the baseball players and boxers drive the popularity of the set in general (and it's gorgeous) so if you want to complete a set you NEED Brown. There are more people who want a set than there are Brown cards. Pretty basic economics.
I look at T220 Silver Border and you'd think "well the two key cards in that set are about as rare as the Brown, so they should go for as much" But even though I personally love the T220 Silvers the amount of people trying to complete sets is probably not even a dozen because it's ONLY boxing. If there was a similar set with ONLY Race Car Drivers, Track Athlete's and Pool Players with one super rare card it would likely sell for even less than the T220 rarities, because those sports rank even lower than boxing in popularity. The baseball cards drive the overall demand, but then it spreads to the other cards because of set collecting. If the 4 baseball players weren't in the set you'd have never heard of the Brown card.

Show me another set where any of the lesser sports rarity or not have a card that is of the non-major sports that have anything close to this level of interest. It just doesn’t exist, hence the incredulity. There is no track record of this type of pricing on the Brown card until exactly this moment. I just find it all strange.

You haven't seen this kind of pricing on the Brown card before. I can't remember the last time I saw one for sale.

I'm curious what the 1893 "Just So" goes for, that's a pretty special card.
|
#13

|

Yes, I do realize that. There are many, many cards this rare worth far, far less than $23,000. $23,000 is one of the highest prices a rare low-grade non-major sport card has ever sold for. This is high price, I'm surprised it's this high so early. If you don't like that, oh well.

It seems fishy to me that within 1 day of the REA being up I knew of no other card being in the auction other than the T227 Brown and I saw that mentioned at least 5 times by people on this forum, and that was BEFORE the price shot up to where it is at. Just seems really odd.

I disagree that this card was unknown. I had 22 different Miner's Extra Backs in my first Pre War auction and I was asked a number of times before the auction even opened if I had the Brown. Then after the auction was running I got additional messages asking if I was sure there wasn't a Brown hiding somewhere (the near set was part of a "find" in Central PA) That's the only reason I chimed in, because I have first hand experience with at least a handful of guys who have been chasing this card for years.

I have most of the set (bought Halper's partial set in Sotheby's and set about finishing it because the cards are great looking and I like to finish sets) and have been looking for the Brown. I have posted here numerous times looking for the card, as have others. I have prodded one owner of the card I could find on Heritage with offers that were ignored.
now, that said, what price? always hard to say when there is one card, first auction in 11 years, and several interested buyers? maybe let it play out and see if it brings out a few others once they see the price? why would people be hyping it? if there are that many that people want to hype it, then several more should be coming for auction soon, right? aside from all that, there is money everywhere doing crazy things....this isn't all that strange when someone just paid $2.25mm for a Tom Brady card. |

It has been several years since I have seen a Lorenzen with car card sell, but it was a $1,200-$1,500 card as of a few years ago. In today's market, the card would probably go for several thousand, but I very much doubt it would sell for $25,000+ because it is "just a racing set." The baseball players in T227 are driving the price of the Bruce Brown card.

I don't think the "hyping" of the Brown card will have anything to do with
the final price. Most collectors have experienced or know it only takes two people that really want an item or in Heritage and other AH's that allow the consigners to bid on their items one person. |

First I want to say that this isn’t my card as I own the PSA 3 and highest grade out there.
I have no problem owning another because the demand for this card is extremely high. I have owned 3-4 sets in the last 5+ years and have handled 1 card which I own. I made this set years ago with both Miners and HLC backs and still in PSA registry. There only seems to be a few of you that really seem to understand the true rarity of this set. I had kept it quiet and only told very few people about the card as I tried to obtain another. I saw David had one of these as he posted a few years ago and I tried to obtain. But he is basing on my knowledge of the card and my findings to hype more Another fact that I will share is when the person broke up the #1 PSA set the only card he was missing was the Brown and he was willing to pay close to 5 figures for it then to me. I passed. My info was based on what I had learned having handled 100+ of the T227 cards. Scott is another person that can attest this card is never found that has handled many of these as well. He is active in the Nonsports world and the sports world and has handled 100+ of these. Only one has come up in auction in Heritage years ago and the other on eBay which are encapsulated now. This has been the only card anyone has needed to complete their t227 sets. That’s because there are a couple more Rodgers out there that are raw or in Sgc holders and converted (IE mine used to be in an Sgc holder). This card is one of the toughest Shortprints in the 20th century just like the 1935 Schutter Johnson Weightlifter, Lindstrom in the US Caramel and McKinley in US Caramel. And the fact that it is part of the best art worked set in the early 20th that houses an in demand baseball set with Cobb, boxing set with Johnson and that Brown is a Pioneer in the racing world that died tragically when the set was made makes it that more elusive.

Ed, good to hear your perspective.
I was probably a bit harsh when I made my comments earlier in this thread. I am no “Newb” when it comes to this set and non-sports cards. I have owned a few near sets of this series and like most I needed the Brown and a few others when I was pursuing the set. I know the set is popular and has had its loyal following for quite some time and I have sold several cards to Cliff and others to help them out with their sets and knew the cards that were considered “tough” cards (or more appropriately the “buy if you ever see them” cards) I am just shocked that any card from a series like this (even with the baseball connection) could ever bring this type of money. The price point that this is going for is just completely unprecedented in the non-Big 4 sports card or Non-Sports card world. Other than baseball cards (and a select few hockey cards) there is just nothing in the entire T-card (or C-card) era that has ever come close to this type of pricing, and that includes crazy rarities like the Kopec Jack Johnson. Just a level of interest that really shocked a seasoned collector of both Sports and Non-Sports cards of many years. Nobody is happier about some of the “outside of the mainstream” sets getting the recognition they probably deserve than I am. These are the kind of sets that I really love. On a related note: I found what I believe to be the only known large advertising poster (actually on thick stock) for the T227 set a few years back. When I shared that there was only a certain small number of people seemed to care which is maybe why I felt taken aback by the response to this rarity. I just didn’t realize there were that many T227 set collectors beyond the baseball and Jack Johnson cards that typically sold for pretty good money.

I’ll have to dig through the pictures on my computer when I get home.
On a sad note on the poster. I found it on eBay years ago as a Buy It Now where the seller didn’t realize that it was related to a card set. I purchased it but they did a really bad job shipping and it was pretty damaged by the poor packing job. I still have all the pieces and it could be restored but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

A little digging and I found the old thread...
https://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=230223 I don’t know of any other set other than T227 with the Honest brand that this poster would be advertising. It is slightly? Trimmed in left side and think it may have been used as a backing in a picture frame or something which is why it was slightly trimmed and why it survived. It refers to swimmers specifically so it may have been a series of these featuring different sports or something along those lines.

Babe took the crown as expected. $55k, $66k with the BP. Wow.
T227 leveled off at 23k, and the Upper Deck golf case went for 21k.

REA Aution guess what goes for the most
Well now I will own 2 Brown cards and I am a legitimate buyer.
I will be questioning the legitimacy though as I agree with Ted’s comments. If a card hasn’t surfaced in auction for 18 years and bidding stops after the posts then something is odd. I will comment again on a future date when I have it. And if I don’t then will expose person playing games if so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by ezez420; 04-19-2021 at 05:34 AM. |

I won't comment on whether the Robinson rookie was altered, but it does look like that card is the new post-war king. A not perfectly but pretty well-centered PSA 7 52 Topps Mantle went for $264K and the Robinson went for 90K more. Maybe Robinson had already surpassed Mantle before this but this was PSA 7 vs. PSA 7 in the same auction. [I don't own either card, just commenting on the results.]

Quick search shows PSA has 4 examples listed: Ed owns the PSA 3 and PSA 2 (REA example)
Rif Ram has the PSA 1.5 listed in his set, John E. has a raw Brown possibly the PSA 1. SGC shows 3 examples: SGC 1.5, SGC 1 and an SGC A The Met Museum also has a raw example so that puts us at 8 possibly known examples There maybe 1 or 2 more raw in private collections or "undiscovered" yet I believe all the known examples are Honest Long Cuts as there are no Miners Extra examples...maybe Ed can confirm Tony |

Here's 2 of them counted in post 46, one from the Non-Sports board awhile back and the Burdick collection copy.
I'd love to see others, never sure how many in pop reports are real, unique cards vs. crossovers or resubmits. However many are known there are surely a number more extant. The T220 Silver Donovan was unknown until 2006, and now we are at 3-4 of them. |

I have yet to see or hear of a ME Brown or Rodgers. If they are SP cards then maybe the ME version came out later after the two cards were pulled.
Another thing I can confirm is that my Psa 3 was ungraded prior to me submitting and from what I know about the psa 2 it was also ungraded and never in an Sgc holder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by ezez420; 04-19-2021 at 09:57 PM. |

Thanks! PSA is extremely tough on this set compared to SGC. That sounds about right 1-2 grades lower than SGC.
