Unofficial CJ Thread...a couple CJ questions.

[Bosox Blair]

I think every HOFer plus Jax, Joe Wood, Cicotte and Gandil should be somewhere in your hierarchy.

So there are a good many HOFers you have left out. For example, Hooper typically sells for about the same price as Eddie Collins in this set.

Joe Wood goes for a bit more than either of them.

Cheers,

Jackson would be 1 and cicotte is on the list at level 5. The wood does did go high recently as on ebay a psa 1.5 just went for $250 . The gandil seems to be quite a bit lower, I got a really nice psa 1 for $85 recently. My Hooper (vg/ex) came early on and havent noticed low-mid grades go for $100+. I would say the lowest tier I have mentioned on there I would be willing to go about 175% on price of a Hooper or Gandil, but just my opinion which is very unsofisticated...

Pete, I would expect the Mack cards to sell for a bit more than the McGraw cards. Someone working on cards of the HOF managers, or the elite managers, would have fewer options out there for Mr. Mack; Mr. McGraw is more readily available.

I don't think that the prices or difficulty reflects scarcity, but rather demand. The cards in the second series are generally available in similar quantities. It's a demand thing...

Would you consider displaying them by cool poses as well?

Definitely. Ive debated the Gandil, which I do not consider one of the most 20-24 cards coveted in the set, b/c of the pose...peckingpaugh as well. The horizontal poses aere more flexible within a display as well.

I don't want to talk about CJ's - that would be the red area to the right, where I gave up quite early, it seems. I'm not doing this to brag, but rather to show the irony tomorrow morning when everything is red. Except my bottle of wine, which will be clear.

But...I would show Alexander and Plank a bit more respect, and Rickey a little less.

How about this.......

1. Jackson
2. Cobb
3. Wagner
4. Johnson, Alexander

7. Collins,Tinker,Evers,McGraw,Crawford,Bresnahan,Woo d,Clark,Chance

Seems like the Nunamaker makes a lot of peoples want lists...I do not have this card either. I have noticably more high #'s than lows. No respect on the matty card?

This looks good. I'd move Matty up to #4 for sure. And I'd add Wheat and Walsh to #8 or even #7.

Pick-up off the bay last night and hopefully the card is truly unaltered and crease/wrinkle free as he claims....cannot wait to get it!

[Runscott]

What did you all think of the price-tag on the Heritage CJ set last night? To me, it looked like it went just a touch over re-sell value - maybe someone was looking for one or two of the 'big ones' out of that lot? It had a nice Jackson, Cobb and Mathewson.

[rainier2004]

That set was very nive with all those 1914s. Id be happy to take some off their hands if theyre selling...

[btkpath]

My thoughts exactly Steven.......I couldn't swing for the whole set, but I wouldn't mind adding a couple of the 1914's in that set to my collection (hint, hint to the buyer!).
