What do you think these would go for today?

Thanks Rjackson but they truly are not for sale. I have just wondered on current value but no one could say for sure until they are sold, since they are unique.

Tom B- yes, he would probably be interested and probably have a few competitors.

Dave- thanks for the guess.....I concur (as well as Barry

)

Leon,

That Matty is a super card. I have a question for the crowd. Assume you have two Matty proofs like Leon's but one of them is for a pose that was never issued like the Eddie Collins Batting pose that KO owns. Now assume they were both in comparable condition, how much more would the one for a pose never issued go for if any?

Recently a common player proof went for under 2k which I think was a steal, so I have no clue on the Matty.

A decent ghost back card can go for 3-8k, miscut upside-down backs 2-4k then there is the Brown OM back to factor in. I would think 15-30k+.

Because of your interests, you're as good as anyone to make the guess on either card's value: If you had $100K card budget and these were the only two you had any interest in, what would YOU be willing to pay?

My thought on those multi-ad back scraps is they don't do much for me - the ones on ebay are just plain ugly. What makes this cool is the Cy Young ghost, but I think it would be worth more with ONLY the Cy Young ghost.

The Matty just needs two interested bidder - as someone alluded, we know who one of them would be (probably). Now all you need is good advertising and a Matty collector who just cashed an inheritance check.

The only to find out on either, though, is to put them in an auction that gets good prices on singles, and let them fly.
