Vintage set pricing

[jayshum]

The T3 set in VG would probably be around $50-60K. There's a set in the current Leland's auction that is a mix of PR to VG-EX so that will give a good idea. On the listing, there's an estimate of $150-200K which seems rather high to me.

I'm rather interested in how much a Poor/Good E95 or E96 set would go for.

Nearly finished with collecting the T3 set over the last 9 months, so I'll add my 2 c to Jay's observation.

First of all, grades on T3's are all over the map, much more so than any set I've collected previously. The TPGs are all wildly inconsistent on the set IMHO, in terms of condition correlating to grade. But I think I know what Jay is shooting for, condition that for most cards would be considered VG, incl. no creases, very minimal staining and wrinkles, decent corners and edges, overall good eye appeal. I would put this 'VG' set a little higher, in the $65k - $75k range. Getting the Cobb alone in VG condition will be over $10k.

Since Jay brought it up, many of the cards in the Leland's set are not in very good condition, so I'd agree that their $150k estimate is wildly optimistic.

Chad, I don't know about you, but if it gets anywhere near that price, I would be very willing to offer my set to the underbidder for one bid below the winning bid.

My guess is the underbidder disappears when the auction ends! I might be worth throwing your set on Ebay after, but unlikely some individual is going to pay north of 75k


Likley all of these 25 "mint" lots will be bought by fractional buyers. I believe there was some ad saying it was "sponsored " by the Collectable app, but can no longer find that specific advertising.

I would think that the B18 set would also be another affordable set. Ne1 know what this would go far nowadays in VG?
