Broad Leaf 460 Question/Speculation

[M's_Fan]

Let's face it, nobody on this board or anywhere else can tell you if a "big find" will ever happen. It sure seems unlikely. That is a gorgeous card.

Agreed. Though, the question posed WASN'T whether a big find would ever occur, but rather if one did, would a Young be more likely to be in it than a common like O'Leary....

Off the cuff, and with what I have observed, I don't think a find is likely to have a Young. I however think there very well could be another BL460 Young, or two, that turns up over time. I have always, and still do, think there is a ton of pre-war cards still waiting to be brought to the hobby. I am optimistic.
This very thing just happened under my nose, btw. Heritage has only the 2nd D304 Cobb with Martens back I have ever seen. Did the value of the other (known) one now go down, I don't know? It's the risk you take when you collect rare, or scarce cards. regards

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine, a well known collector/dealer from the west coast ... we were talking about a very large lot being offered on eBay that we were interested in.
It was a large lot of T209 Type 2's, asides from having some tough cards in it that I needed, the ones that really stuck out were three B. E. Thompson cards that I didn't need ... go figure.

In answer to your question ... It can happen!

The BL 460 Young is without a doubt an incredible card, and probably one of a kind in the hobby. It has it all: player, rarity, condition, set desirability, etc., etc. I have seen the card in person. It is phenomenal! I doubt the winner will have buyer's remorse.
