Memorabilia very different from cards. I guess the comps is it.
I have a telegram Jackie sent to someone in Montreal on the birth of his son …. Very cool ….. floated to an AH and was little interest. If I listed it here for $700 probably would sit.
Thinking of donating it to the Jackie Robinson museum in NYC.
QUOTE=Lucas00;2536814]I will never understand how collectors will fork over hundreds of thousands for a high grade rookie, yet pieces like this don't instantly sell. It must just be lack of knowledge of rare items.
The post war oddball world is very strange. I think people are just scared of the unknown. If there aren't 100 comps available in the last month peoples brains just crumble. Kudos to pre war guys with figuring out rare is good. Obviously I'm being dramatic but post war oddball collectors really do have a very long way to go.
Can you imagine an item like this of Wagner or Cobb or ruth? It wouldn't be $1500, it would be $150,000.[/QUOTE]
