Feels like pre-war, high quality cards are as strong as ever. And people have been calling the demise of vintage for many many years. Hard to believe them now.

I lost out on the main two I was bidding for. Lundgren(was too tired to stay up, long work week). It sold decently, a green Cobb Portrait as well. Probably should have put all my cash on the Lundgren T206 and gave up on the pipe dream I bid of about 6k for the nice SGC A Cobb green portrait. Or forgot about both of these and just went after the 1933 complete Goudey. Prices on this looked really auction looked really good. The thing that did piss me off was some sort of lock up right before overtime on some bids I did want to make. REA has a decent auction going now. My lesson has finally been learned, focus on ONE THING and get it!!!!! The last big REA was the one that surprised me on pricing for the Spring though

E93 Cobb PSA 4 $11.5K and an SGC 1.5 just under $4K are strong prices. T206 prices looked strong as well. Maybe we see a pullback later on? We shall see.

I was bidding mainly on Diamond Stars. I managed to win some but found the bidding very competitive and the prices to be strong. There were some "bargains" but they all seemed to be for cards I already had. I think that just means that people collecting this set are all finding the same cards to be difficult (either based on condition or rarity) and are willing to pay to get them.

In a normal world (which I mean the past in our hobby) that would be a great profit for the seller, but the market for BIG NAME HOF'ers has, as everyone and their doctor knows, gone nuts the last several years, so yes indeed I think this particular card came at a great bargain price. Brian |

Brian, I agree with you. I by no means thought the plow’s Cobb went cheap. This is from VCP and shows psa 4 sales since 2006. They are all the one I bought except the top one which was a different psa 4. I think the card went for about the right amount in this market, and certainly represents a very strong increase in 5 years.
What’s most important to me on this chart is that the card has always increased in value (even is only slightly) |

Interesting. I’m far from being an expert in this but it appears that this card is mimicking a T-Bill @ ~ 3.0 to 3.5% interest ( with the interest that you would otherwise earn in cash being factored into the price of the card).

For me, the role that cards play is a slow and steady protector and grower of wealth that happens to be really fun and cool. This is why I collect/buy what I do - old and rare items of blue chip HOFers. And, even with this game plan, I sometimes hit home runs, which adds a little “alpha” to an otherwise safe allocation; I also miss sometimes on items but never huge. If I wanted to day trade, I would buy the shinny stuff. If I wanted a higher return, then I would put my card money elsewhere or maybe into other cards. So, when I see a 15 year history of value increase on a rare Ty Cobb card, I hit the buy button. |

To me It’s a tale of two markets,
REA/Heritage/Goldin Equals Wall Street Buyers/White Collar Buyers-inflation has zero affect on their spending habits, so that being said the high end market card are fine. Private Sales BST/ or In Person at shows are blue collar Main Street buyers. Inflation has definitely affected their spending habits, they’re not spending on middle and lower grade I’m sorry they’re just not spending as much.

Aside from the HOFers (Cobb, Wagner, Young, Speaker, etc), I don’t think the set is the best investments though Last edited by Rhotchkiss; 05-17-2022 at 03:59 PM. |

This is not to take anything away from the card at all, but I do not think that it is a good example of Heritage’s prices being soft. Last edited by robertsmithnocure; 05-16-2022 at 07:59 AM. |
