The Next Million $$$$ Card
Posted By: Darren J. Duet
A recent SCD publication had an Article entitled the Next Million Dollar Baseball Card. A prediction by the author focused on the T210 Joe Jackson and how if a higher grade example came to auction it would be the Next One. |

The Next Million $$$$ Card
Posted By: barrysloate
I sold a Gypsy Queen California League card in 2001 for over 82K and to this day that is still the record for a 19th century card at auction. I find it shocking that in the last four years, unquestionably the greatest boom period in the history of the hobby, that mark hasn't been surpassed. Why is that? There are numerous cards- Four Base Hits Kelly, Just So Cy Young, Anson in Uniform- that would soar past that figure, yet the sale has held up all these years. 20th century cards have gone up fivefold during that period. |

None of the creme de la creme 19th Century stuff has traded/sold for at least 4-5 years, that I remember (nice caveat there). I presume if one of the key pieces went to auction it would easily topple 100k. Who knows... |

It's a sad commentary when the label behind the plastic holder determines the price a card would achieve at auction. Darren, please understand that I'm not trying to dog your thread or question. It's a very valid and interesting question. |

Leon is exactly right, but why have so many great 20th century cards been auctioned over the last few years but not any of the really great 19th century? There must be an explanation but I don't have it. |

I think Fred hit it right on the nose. It is all up to who wants what at what time. The reason we haven't seen any 19th century cards break that mark yet Barry, yes for the mer fact that no rare highly collectable 19th century cards have hit the market. I'm sure if another PCL n172 would come out it would get close. Or maybe a new player for that same set. How about another example of a Gypsy Queen PCL I'm sure that would break it in todays market but the point is they are far more rarer 19th century cards than 20th century cards. Most of them will or have been sold privately. Most main stream 19th century collectors know who to sell there cards to and usually don't need to send them to the auction block. |

I know who to sell 19th century cards to also- I just don't know what to ask for them. That's the tough part and why I prefer to auction things. With the market as volatile as it is, if I had something ultra-rare I would feel compelled to put it on the block. |

I'm still impressed when a card cracks the $1,000 mark. |

This list is 4 years old, but isn't $325k more than the Balt News Wagner sold for? |

I went into Chicago with more cash than I'd ever before had for a show and felt like I could spend it all the first night and not even make a dent in my shopping list. |

My guess would be either a gem mint '52 Mantle or the card nobody has mentioned yet on this thread, the gem mint SGC 98 1914 CJ Jackson. If that card were ever broken away from its set and sold individually, I think the sky is the limit. |

The card is so perfect that it looks like a reprint. But it's not. Put that one in a major auction and watch the fireworks that ensue. Maybe not a million yet, but a big chunk of a million for sure. |

Wow! I've never seen it before. Is there a story behind it? How'd it come out of a Cracker Jack box looking like that? |

You can go to SGC's site and read all about it. Me trying to retell it would do it an injustice. |
