Bad luck for me that Drefuss is in the HOF.

I am not a bidder nor am I the consigner, but I figured the bidding would be higher than that by now. Why it is not 5 figures yet ?

The card has a lot going for it. It's the only card of this new Hall of Famer. It is scarce. It's from a popular set. And Dreyfuss is one of the few Jewish Hall of Famers.

But the bottom line is that it's a card of an owner. A lot of people just don't bother with owners.

Personally, I very much want this card for my HOF collection. But I'm not paying $6K. I vastly overpaid for McPhee just before his prices crashed. I've learned my lesson. (Of course, when I'm still searching for this card 10 years from now, I'll eat my words.)

You forgot one important fact.....Dreyfuss's middle name is "Mort"!!!

I own the SGC30 Dreyfuss referenced above. Since I got it before Barney made it to the Hall, I paid "only" $350 or so in an eBay auction of David Bryan (Hi, David). Based upon the current Goodwin auction, this looks to be my smartest purchase to date although I'm strictly a collector and have no intention of selling the card. Instead, it will likely pass to my granddaughter along with the rest of my stuff, and be sold thereafter in short order. Mark

From the pop reports, it looks like there are 14 graded cards. Would any Board expert be willing to venture a guess as to how many raw Dreyfuss cards exist in collections? Thanks. Mark

Now Leon, that was funny.

Mark - I like the "only $350"

I guess I'm dense, but Leon, I don't get it. Please clue me in.

As far as ungraded cards go, I know that Collectibles Classics Auctions sold one a few months ago for about 80 bucks, with two corners torn off. I wish I had bought it.

Mark, can you hurry up and give your cards to your granddaughter? I'm not trying to bury you. Just give them to her as a gift.

Paul- there was a BST post where a seller was claiming that because a ballplayer had the name Mort, he therefore had to be Jewish. While this could be true (my father's name is Morton and he's Jewish), it was too much of a stretch and he took some flak for it.

I own an SGC 40 Dreyfuss. Apparently, "the" SGC 40 Dreyfuss. I bought it graded and it is the only D322 of my complete set that is graded.

In answer to Mark's question, I'm guessing that the existing number of D322 Dreyfuss cards is 150-250. I could be way off. I'm assuming that if you owned a Tip Top set before the grading services began you might not be in a rush to get it graded, unless you were planning to sell. I'm also assuming that collectors of older sets, where a vg/ex card qualifies as a blazer, as opposed to a much more recent set that is possible to complete in PSA 8 condition, grades mean less and there is less incentive to get it graded.

Does anyone know the pop reports on the D322 Wagner? This would provide an interesting comparison to the Dreyfuss. I'm guessing that the number of graded Wagners is far higher simply because more kids kept Wagner and threw away Dreyfuss, who was not a player.
