REA results

Some healthy prices on off back T206's last night. This one stymies me...a presumably vey common mid career ernie banks team issued photo pack card. From my experience these are commonly available in even unopened condition. And...it's not even a "card?"

Price seems cray cray to me. Who the F cares if its graded a 10???

I'm kind of curious about https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=98808.

I get that Series 8 is the hardest for T210 but nearly $2000 for an SGC 1.5 is more than I am used to seeing for any T210 that is not a well-known player. Is it because he played in the major leagues (pitching for both the Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Rebels of the Federal League)? Or did someone just really want a Series 8?

I assume this is an anomaly and doesn't mean a Series 8 graded 5 or higher would be a $10K card.

Note: I neither consigned or bid on this lot. Just watching it as a type collector and wondering if there are any types left that are affordable.

That T205 with yellow elephant definitely got its price pumped after being mentioned on this board. Congrats to the consignor!

Agreed, BUT I'm still looking for one, too!

Anyone got one available????

T206 Stone PSA 5 Piedmont 350 … $1440

What am I missing here? Is it the caption letter residue that got people excited?

There were definitely some head scratchers on less than rare T206 backs.

Yep.. at the consigner’s Benefit and at my expense. When I saw the Net54 post, I knew it cost me 4 figs. 😆 I am still happy with the price I paid. I was going much higher. But man…

It is def a great addition to my Master set and matching Paul Thompson Type 1 photo archive. One more crossed off the never ending list.

I was most surprised at a Sanella Ruth in SGC 4 for $3600 - that was a shocker for me!

Yeah, that makes absolutely zero sense.

Yep....I think people get caught up in the moment. They could have picked up a Sanella 4.5 in Ebay this month for $961 or an SGC 5.5 in Jan for $1,150.

There were a few relative bargains to be had. I was happy to get this T3 Kid Elberfeld and some mid-grade post war cards at reasonable prices.

Very nice pickup and great match.

Paid strong price but got what you wanted

Congrats

CONGRATS on the Collins - Yellow Elephant, too! My search continues, I guess, at a higher price point now...

Shoulda, woulda, coulda....

[BobbyStrawberry]

I can't figure this one....is it the rarity of the front/back combo?

Sucks it got called out. For what it's worth - I'd say still a great price. Superb example!

I thought maybe someone that knows T210s better than I would answer, but I guess not. That’s a tough card to be sure, but past sales do not predict that price in my mind. It was flying from the start, though. I guess a couple guys really needed it. I put in a marker bid at the start, but did not follow up. Too rich for me.

[DeanH3]

Thanks Ian, Chad and Phil. Such a tough card to find with any semblance of reasonable centering.

[molenick]

Regarding the T210, I thought it was high when it went to $650 on the first day. I don't like to comment on bidding while a lot is still open, so I waited until the auction was over to say anything (and it got a lot higher on the last day). Every bid starting at $100 was outbid immediately, so someone put in a maximum bid and I don't think it ever got topped.

[Yoda]

I paid less for the Dahlen Brooklyn variation than the Prince of Wales (Hi Charles, how is the family?) backed copy. I figure I got a bargain.
Also snagged the '34 Goudey Dean and '52 Topps Hodges.

I picked up this Cy Young for my set

A few of my favorites from the auction (I didn't win any of these):

Lajoie Portrait AUTH

Amazing picture quality on this EPDG Walter Johnson Portrait

EPDG Frank Chance, Red Portrait

[QUOTE=rugbymarine;2198775] Amazing picture quality on this EPDG Walter Johnson Portrait
I think that's the prettiest WaJo portrait I've ever seen, just unreal color and resolution. Together with the tough back, someone got themselves an amazing and special card at a great price by ignoring that ridiculous grade.

There is a pinhole in the upper portion of the card. Hence the stern grade.
But 110% agree on your assessment.

I saw the pinhole and understand card economics as decreed by the TPGs. For me, who cares? That is one f**king gorgeous and special card!

Re: headscratchers

If a PSA 3 EPDG Chance red portrait sells for $6,900, what does that imply for a PSA 4 or PSA 5? Is a PSA 5 now a $20k card?
https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=98355

How much would this one go for? (Asking for a friend! )
https://www.psacard.com/auctionprice...auction/131368

Other crazy prices that raise similar comp-related questions:
PSA 1 EPDG Dahlen Boston: $1,100
https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=98394
The PSA pop report shows nine copies of the EPDG Dahlen, four of which are graded higher.

PSA 1 (MC) Sovereign 350 Anderson: $840
https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=98276
The PSA pop report shows 20 copies of the Sov 350 Anderson, 17 of which are graded higher.

The Anderson was because of the double struck name and the Sovereign back.

Ah, missed that. Thanks. Anybody have thoughts to share on the EPDG Chance or Dahlen?

Perhaps collectors have finally realized that Ernie had a nice smile. Pretty much all of his other cards should enjoy a boost.

Maybe that would make a good thread...show your non-smiling Ernie Banks cards. Perhaps his non-smiling cards should be worth more money, due to their rarity.
