Wally Pipp… any premium value?
 

I wanted to ask other pre-war collectors whether they have seen any premium of value for Wally Pipp vs other commons from the same set (for example the Sporting News M101-4/5)

Maybe it’s the baseball history geek in me that finds the Pipp to Gehrig line to be cool - but does that translate into value premium for old Wally’s cards?

I’ll be checking VCP too - but wanted to get some qualitative observations and thoughts here too.

Thx for weighing in!

There are definitely Pipp collectors out there so if you reach them I would expect at least a slight bump over a common Yankee price.

I would expect to pay a premium. There's only a handful of nice ones on eBay now, and sellers are asking 3-4 times the price of a common in the same shape.
