The Next 100K Card

[CMIZ5290]

Wow! There is no telling what the card would bring at a major auction house! My bet is $500k plus.

If these were ever to sell...

1893 Just So Cy Young
1909 Cabanas Pete Hill
1910 Punch Pete Hill (EX or better w/backing, if one exists)


I wouldnt count PSA-10 hype BS (Condition rarity/registry hype overpay) as a card this is really worth $100K, I know many Topps cards have sold for over $100K, or close, but the only one I would say is in the club is the 1952 Mantle.

others...
1933 R328 US Caramel Lindy Lindstrom
and maybe a mid to high grade T215 Pirate or T214 Ty Cobb if one exists



PS. Sometimes a card is too rare.... unique cards or cards only known with only a couple examples need to be part of a fairly popular set to get the demand up enough for bidding wars to take it up that high IMO

ie Leon's T231 Baker is the rarest type card in the world (w/ACC#) but wouldnt even come close to $100K

There are a lot of 19th century rarities that either have sold at that level privately or would if offered. Some would be well into six figures or closer to seven like the Just So Cy Young or N172 Anson in uniform. Not quite at the same level as those, but I think N167 HoFs will be at the six figure level before too long.

I agree high grade cards that can be had for under 10k in lower examples shouldn't count, and that does include Mantle. Not sure what the cut off is maybe a grade of 4 or 5 to be fair, but if a grade of 4 or 5 isn't even close to 100k then it isn't a 6 figure card even though the high grades are. Just my opinion.

Thanks, Gary--I missed the Mathewson's sale. See, they're creeping up on us already!
