Heritage Auction

[toppcat]

I am aware of what I believe are five extant copies each of the three rare MLAS cards and can't tell if these bring each pop to six as I don't have great scans/back scans for some examples. I got into the weeds on the origin of some of these awhile back, curious if anyone can shed more light on the current Heritage offerings or overall. The summary of origin conclusions are at the end of the post:

I think there's an excellent chance the Roberts gets to $150K or so, not sure the other two will get to six figures but it's going to fun to watch.

These are as close as I will get, courtesty of a fellow board member. I do have the other 8 and the 11 Connie Macks

Wow, except for Stanky they all went for far less than I expected. Healthy prices to be sure but soft considering the rarity.

With juice:

Konstanty $19,200
Stanky $43,200
Roberts $66,000

Agree less than I would have thought - all out of my price range.

I agree very rare and f even past sales I thought this group sold soft. Less than $150k for the group. I hope the new owner enjoys them.
Many of the one off prototypes of lesser known players are tough sales but those of Clemente Mays Aaron Mantle etc. Have always done well.
It was exciting just to see these 3 pop up for sale.

Wow Konstanty went really cheap...given how rare these cards are.

Yeah, don't know if it's really that puzzling, after all, why does some investor want an old tape-stained piece of paper sitting in a bank vault for the next couple of decades? Can he/she really enjoy the sense of greedy exclusivity that thinking about it would bring?
