Is having provenance or a pedigree on holder good

[CobbSpikedMe]

Love my Lionel Carter cards. I'll never part with this beat to hell Chase E98. I'll upgrade him in my set, but I'll be keeping this one.

I used to have an E78 from Nagy's collection and sold it a few years ago and regret it still. Eventually I'll pick up another Nagy, but that was a cool card from a tough set.

I did not read all of the responses, but it seems it just depends on the collection it came from. I doubt it would ever hurt the value, unless the source later turned out to be I evolved in some kind of fraud. If I see something like Lionel Carter, or owned by Mantle, I will bid a little more.

I agree with Jesse here. Certain names, I think, increase the desirability of the card and the price. There only needs to be some people willing to pay more for the Carter card and the price goes up. There are a ton of collectors who could care less about the pedigree being called out on the flip, but there are enough who do care that the prices reflect that intrerest.

I wonder if we could put together a virtual T206 set of Lionel Carter cards? I'm assuming there was a whole set at one point. It might be fun to start a thread and give it a try.

Yes there was, Joe Yanello won it via auction several years ago & broke it up soon after

Here's one of the Cobb's

Depends on who the pedigree is:

..Many of us on here would resort to fisticuffs to obtain a " From The Adrian Collection". -- or in my case Chuck Klein.
