What's up with these t206 sold auction prices ???

We all sound like a buncha old farts: I remember when ___.

[53toppscollector]

on the Devlin, PSA has graded a whopping 1 Old Mill (a PSA 7!) and SGC has also graded only 1, an SGC 1.5.

So, yeah, pop 2.

I was able to add another Cycle 460. I probably should have bid higher on the Meyers and Schulte. This O'Leary is not bad for the price though. If you look closely, you can see the Wright brothers fishing on the pond in the background.

Yeah, I ended up seeing the psa pop. report on the Devlin...but the Ames? Pretty sure I saw 6 or so just on psa. In general, I was surprised with the closing bid amounts for raw Old Mills in decent, but not amazing, shape.
Glad you were at least able to grab the Krause James. I picked him up as well with the Cycle back 👍
(Nice 460 RC)

But it was all because of the back. 😉

[53toppscollector]

Nice Krause Cycle. I put in a bid on that one, even though I already have a copy, but glad to see it ended up with a fellow board member

The Ames could be a function of a recent Sov 350 (I think) in PSA 4 that sold for what I seem to remember was a fairly high price a few months back at auction. Possibly 2 people competing to make progress on a back run. Seems like this portrait has become fairly popular and there are only a few for sale on ebay.

The Devlin nor the Ames surprised me, very tough Print Group 1 OMs

However, the common Old Mills not from Print Group 1 seemed to go too High imo. Big difference in scarcity within this sub-set for those whom do the research.

The Walsh Old Mill had a desirable “Print Mark” on the front, which advanced collectors would know made that card more desirable than a typical OM Walsh. I felt that card could have gone much higher. Someone got a very Scarce, although lower grade, tough off-back HOFer with that one, Nice Pull there

And, the strong prices for the Cycles, Well I love it.

I landed this one, an upgrade from my current Raw1. Current Combined Pop: 7, with 2 - 5’s, however it appears the same 5 was crossed over, therefore, I’m hoping this guy grades 3.5+. If so, he will be the second highest graded Malarkey Cycle 350 of only 8 graded. Fingers crossed

Cheers to All
