Can someone explain why the T206 Cy Young portrait PSA 4 went for $11k? I know its from the Ramsburg Collection but wow!

I was just going to ask the same thing - about the T206 Cy Young portrait. The back was Sweet Caporal 150/25 - is that a rare back and the reason it went so high ? Or the Ramsburg connection (which the PSA label does not designate) ? It went for over $11.k over double what other recent PSA 4's have sold for.

And the 1935 Wheaties Gehrig, thought I had a chance at reasonable price. Sigh, not to be. I have always wanted on of these orange beauties. I kick myself for not picking up a nice copy when I had the chance years ago.

Factory 25 can be difficult. SC 150, 25 is a little tougher. SC 350, 25 can sometimes be downright impossible. I finished a Tinker bat off back run (currently being sold in Memory Lane) and the SC 350, 25 was hand down one of the tougher ones.

That said, I have come to believe that when we see results like this, its a card doctor who feels they will alter the card and make a profit (after PSA grades it a 7 post alteration).

I had the same thought. Someone plans to take the card for a dip in Kurt�s magic elixir for a hefty profit.

Thank you for this insight.
