T206 "Authentics"

[bunst]

I used to have no interest in "Authentic" T206's until I sent a few of my raw cards in for grading and some came back Authentic due to EOT. Many of these cards were the pride of my collection before being sent in as they were beautiful and to my knowledge untouched. Though technically valued less than previously believed, they are more than acceptable for me and will stay in my collection. I do see prices realized for Authentic cards to be quite strong, so I think many collectors are accepting of them.

Having sent in a few cards, I'm convinced not all As are trimmed. Out of 20 I had 2 rejected. One undersize, one called miscut. Neither labeled as EOT. If I'd specified slab as A if it won't get a number both would be in A slabs.

I also have a couple cards I've bought that are full size that I believe are trimmed. I'm still debating sending those in.

I think it would be a good idea if the grading companies would slab as A but include the reason for rejection.

So for me it really depends on the card.

I would buy one for $20 or so if I needed one to fill a gap.

I would group them all in one lot, and then consign them to PWCC or Probstein. You might be pleasantly surprised at how much they actually bring.

Unless they are rare fronts or backs I would offer them at the prices suggested to the crew here, see what happens then look for the next step.

I agree with putting them in lots, maybe grouping them by back.

I heard the word BIN used already once. Just start the auction at .99 with no reserve and let the market dictate what the cards are worth. Unless you want them sitting on your shelf for the next decade, avoid the BIN format.

Agree
Group them as one lot, consign them, listing them as such. And see what they bring.
