Incredible PWCC prices tonight on t206

[Lobo Aullando]

Too bad we have to log in to look at the sold prices. I'm not curious enough to sign up.

Steve Evans decided to broaden his collection to go with all the Steve Evans he paid up for?

I wonder if two persons sniping software went above and beyond what they intended to "win" the auction?(Not sure how they work, so pure speculation, but I seem to lose a lot of ebay auctions by one bid right at the end.) These prices do look kinda nutso to me (but in fairness I know the low grade common back stuff much better) -

Lajoie port OM PSA 4 $26,100
Matty port OM PSA 2 $19,500
Bresnahan Port OM PSA 6 $7500
Willis Port OM PSA 6 $5640
Cicotte OM PSA4 $2760
Hunky Shaw PB 6 $2520
Tinker OM PSA2 $2460


Time to sell mid to high grade OM & PB while these comps are out there!

Print Group 1 Old Mill's are some of the most difficult combo's in the set.

Sold prices don't mean actually sold. Especially when auctioned by a ring well known for dishonest results. Maybe they transacted at these prices. Maybe they didn't.

Fanatics now owns PWCC.

Brent and PWCC parted ways about six months ago.

To which well known ring are you referring?

Considering you wanted an apology for having a card question answered with a factually correct list, I doubt you are seeking any kind of answer or examination about the issue and this is your third or fourth personal thing the last week or two.

I have asked the exact same thing before without an answer after he previously called them "a ring well known for dishonest results".

Wouldn't an answer have been shorter?

It was a question. If you don't want to answer it, I understand. But yes, I was seeking an answer. This hobby has a seemingly endless string of scandals. I figured there was a new PWCC story and I had missed it.

I have no idea about the "third or fourth personal thing" to which you're referring. I really don't care, though. Take whatever you wish from people's posts, rightly or wrongly. That's on you, not me.

It seems to me that you and I simply aren't going to get along. These things happen. It's a shame, too. You seem like a fairly intelligent person with quite a bit of hobby knowledge.

So here's a post on here with links to other posts about how these Old Mills are tougher - so maybe the combo of Print Group 1/ Old Mill/ and Higher Grade make these prices reasonable?? Not to me personally, but to somebody.

This.

I was hoping to add a few to my White Sox master set, but was only able to come away with one (F. Jones portrait).

The link provided above drills down to the following, from 2019:

https://www.thatt206life.com/2019/03...th-rare-backs/

“There are 31 Portraits in the T206 set that feature a Hall of Famer. 23 of them were printed in the 150-350 Series. The rarest backs that were printed in the 150-350 Series are Old Mill and Brown Hindu.”

Most if not all of the cards listed above are portraits. I’ve never seen a Lajoie in that combo. The Mathewson combo has sold for a big premium in past auctions as well - very few of them.

It was shocking to see some of the prices common players sold for. Old Mills aside, the Polar Bear prices were unreal. $400+ not including the 20%. I had 23 bids in & won zip. Kind of glad I didn't over pay.

This auction was the last of the T206 off & rare backs though. PWCC probably can't & won't be able to keep up that pace.

[GregMitch34]

yes, my original point was more the super high prices for the OM and PB commons, not HOFers
