On the flip side an SGC 82 (6.5) sold for a whopping $8400!!

A PSA 8 Yellow letter also sold way below past sales.

A few other high grade copies - didn't check them all against previous prices yet

Thoughts?

That 9 was pretty far off centered. I would rather have my centered 8. I know those other two 9s that sold higher were much better centered. The Heritage at 478K was discussed at the time and many, including me, thought that it was better than the one 10. The 8 sold for 30k which is more than recent sales and it wasn't even that well centered.

Clemente RCs have come down from when they were hyped 2 summers ago (as have all the other hyped RCs), but centered copies are still going to bring strong prices. People that bought off centered ones the first half of 2016 are going to get crushed if they sell today. I believe people are looking at those old label cards and realizing that they wouldn't bring those grades today and paying less for them.

Based on that I dated it as 1981 item. I then I did a bit of research and came across the Mar 25, 1981 Valley Independent Newspaper. Do you recall the auction you mentioned that contained the other complete poster you mentioned? Thanks for a great thread Mike!

Great poster Mike!!! I saw that one for sale, I made an offer but was declined. Glad to see you ended up with it. I don’t remember where the other full poster I saw Was auctioned at, I just saved a photo of it. Congrats again!

Mike -

Your 1969 Milton Bradley appears to be a 1972. You can tell by the base of the red "1"s. It is much tougher than the 1969 and looks to be in great condition and pretty valuable IMO.

Good catch Scott
