CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!

From what I'm seeing from recent sales, $200k seems a little generous. Maybe $30-50k, depending on how nuts the bidders are willing to get during the auction.

A PSA 1 just went for $16,800 last night. There have only been a handful of sales this year all low grades. A SGC 3 went for nearly 30k in heritage as well a couple months ago.

There's an old flip PSA 4 in H&S right now. Yes, I suppose that equates to a modern PSA -6...

I’ve actually seen the opposite, newer flips equate to 2-3 grades lower on comparable cards from older flips

You missed my sarcastic minus symbol.

The "Mona Lisa" cards are:

Baseball: T206 Wagner
Basketball: Bowman Mikan
Football: National Chicle Nagurski
Hockey: C55 Vezina

I'm happy to say that I currently own two of these cards.

Biggest reason I was looking for a nagurski is its rarity and status in the hobby also the set and image is very cool. I’ve also heard it called the T206 Wagner of football, if that’s the case it’s way undervalued.

Totally agree. This could be a $5-10 million card someday.

Those are two reasons. Both are A-OK with me, as I am the same way with nearly all of my cards.

Fair enough. Maybe it will go nuts if it goes to auction. But $200k nuts seems unlikely.

Won’t be mine going to auction anytime soon. With only two 5.5s going to rely on other comps for value. A PSA 6 sold last year for nearly 100k but I’d argue eye appeal was not as good as mine and they’ve been steadily rising since.

Even better. So aside from insurance purposes (and maybe proving to the wife that this is a great investment of all your free cash flow), the current value isn’t particularly important.

Yeah it’s appropriately insured in my vault off site and she’s on board with the long term outlook on this card knowing it’s potential down the road.
