That $345K might get you a studio apartment in the not so nice parts of Vancouver

That will get him a tent behind McDonalds in North Van.

Trae- sure did. Was a big T206 collector back then.

The price seems about right to me for that example. A PSA 1 sold for 399k in REA a year and a half ago. I know of private offers over 400k for similar examples in the past year. It is a lot for a baseball card, but there is no shortage of buyers (like there is for those houses in Texas ).

It is a great looking card for the grade.
And the 'Sloate' provenance makes it even more appealing.

I would rather have that card than the studio in Vancouver (mentioned by Max) or the house in Texas (mentioned by Jim). Of course.... if you throw an apartment in Soho into the mix I probably would not choose Honus.

Hi Joe- I don't think anybody actually knows about the Sloate provenance.
