Bob Lemke"wait 'til next year!" The current (2004) SCBC, in all but a few cases, lists N172 prices only by player/team combination, not by pose. Next year, there will be a by-pose appendix for N172 Hall of Famers. Obviously, the Radbourn portrait card(s) will be listed higher than the later "action" poses. Based on recorded sales of the past six months, if I were going to press today, the portrait would be about $7,000 NM; $3,150 EX and $2,000 VG. What the final "book" value of the card(s) will be in the 2005 edition remains to be seen. In the current (2004) edition it would have been a greater disservice to the hobby to price all Radbourn cards at the level of the scarcest/most desireable, rather than at the level of the most commonly encountered examples. Disparities such as this are why the effort is being made to create a by-pose HoF listing for N172. And to reiterate what Jay Miller said, he had no input into the pricing of the listings . . . nor did two other frequenters of this forum who asked for and received advanced printouts but did not return any suggested value data.
