lipset's four base hit sunday
 

Posted By: <b>jeff</b><p>Hello all-<BR>I finally got around to looking through Lipset's catalogue (bad move, given I still have plenty of time to bid...). This Four Base Hit Daily/Sunday -- anybody know what the full (non-trimmed) copy sold for, and when? Or, in lieu of that, any educated guesses as to what the card might go for? Seems to me a tough call -- it's only so great to have a Four Base Hit if you don't have the advertising identifying it as such. <BR>Jeff

Posted By: <b>Jaime Leiderman</b><p>This FBH specimen was bought by Lew almost a year ago on eBay for less than $2k.<BR><BR>I've never seen this card with the full FBH caption at the bottom, the only ones I've seen are Leon's Kelly from Lew Lipset auction, and 3 on Robert Edward Auction (June 1997); Mutrie, Hankinson and a beautiful Clarkson with small corner clippings.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I think that a nice HOF speciman of a 4 base hit would go for a little more than 10k. When was the last time you saw an HOF FBH, without any major problems, for sale? I know the one I have is "one". I know there might have been some others but in my scant 5 years I have not seen a nice HOF, without major problems, for sale that I can remember....probably missed one somewhere though....the one in the Lipset will bring exactly what someone is willing to pay, under normal auction circumstances, at this point in time. If there are at least 2 that want it pretty bad it will go high, if not, it won't. And that my friends was a boatload of words for a rowboat of thought <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> .....best regards....

Posted By: <b>Jay Miller</b><p>Leon--That price was not for a HOFer, just a non-HOFer. Last time I checked Sunday was not in the HOF. I have seen several HOFers with less condition problems than your Kelly, ie no creases.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>You're right Jay. I always get mixed up on a few guys. Sliding Billy is one of them. His folklore makes him as valuable, or more, than some HOF's.. sometimes. Still haven't seen too many nice FBH's regardless of HOF or not...talk to ya soon and best regards

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I guess, according to the SCD, the picture of Sunday is on a card that has the name of "Daily" instead of "Daly" so it is a double error.....just wanted to clarify.....

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>You too are correct Julie. See, I was sleeping for 2 hours on the couch today, got up, responded to Jay's post, and didn't wake up. Two faux pas's in one thread. One more and I will have the record <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> thanks ya'll (now back to sleep)

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>My mis-information aside I am curious as to where you have seen the "several HOF's with less condition problems" for sale. For the last 5 years I have been watching fairly closely. PLease tell me who and where they were. I am curious.......best regards
