Orange border Mathewson opinions
 

Is this card real? I am not super familiar with orange borders and have only had a few in the past... (less than 5). Its beat to hell and $499 seemed a bit out of whack..

thanks in advance.

yes and yes
 

I have handled several, have 2-3, and it looks real to me from the scan. The price was high for the condition and thus it didn't sell. Nothing too peculiar on this one.

Thanks Leon..
i wasn't sure if it was the cost or the validity that caused it not to sell.. ;)

Assuming its real and in that condition, what would you expect the hammer price to be?

comp values
 

If I am not mistaking there have been a few lower grade ones for sale over the last several years. I would think that if that one started at .99, it would go to between $100 and $200 ......but that is just a semi-educated guess. I think Orange Borders are neat but have 2-3 already....plus that one is a bit more off condition than I normally collect.

nice cards Leon, especially the Wagner but I just hate those GAI slabs. YUK!
