FS 1947-48 well made pants jackie robinson - BGS AUTH - UNIQUE

No doubt in this case the scarcity of the item hurts it more than helps it. Do not blame them for what they are asking but they tried to sell the Well Made Pants not long ago in an REA auction and apparently bought it back when it did not do as well as they wanted.

So much bizarreness surrounding these 2 very scarce pieces. First no pics. No price. Then lousy pictures. Then harangue people for not making offers. Then pics posted on another eBay account. Now a report it was consigned but pulled back.

Almost a case study in how not to sell a scarce item.

no-its not complicated at all. the cards are mine and my brother put up the photos since i do not see very well. i also had some offers on ebay. price of well made pants is $10,000. and champ hats is $15,000. both shipped within 5 days postpaid. for a one of a kind robinson rookie those prices are a steal - good luck in finding others.

Hi Paul,
If they were a steal they would have been bought years ago when you first started marketing them. A steal on this forum goes in minutes if not seconds.

For reference, here is a unique Musial rookie from the same set. I bought it on the BST, 8/8/2020 for $475. And that is why I would never pay 5 figures for your card. It's too rare for its own good. It isn't worth that much, at least to everyone who has seen it and has the means to buy it. That all said I like your premium and good luck with it!

Now THAT is awesome.

As a dealer friend of mine famously said to me decades ago when discussing an oddball piece, Pete, sometimes the only thing rarer than the supply is the demand.

Holy cow, Leon, that is amazing! As a Cardinals/Musial fan, that is really something.

Well that sure is intriguing!

Much like the Brothers Grimm, the Brothers Shill?
