So you originally asked for opinions about this item as you were new to Net54, and I would assume to sports memorabilia. A lot of people commented on your original post and the price estimates that were mentioned were in the $1000-3500 range. You took all this information and proceeded to list it at $675,000!!!! You have now marked it down to $95,000 but are negotiable to serious buyers.
In the sports collectibles market, comps are what an item sell for, whether it’s an auction or a private sale. Auction comps are used all the time to price items, your logic that it’s not relevant is incorrect.
I had posted an older Wrigley Field on deck circle that sold for $1200 in 2018 which is old, but a good reference point. Someone mentioned the 1970’s Yankee stadium on deck circle that was auctioned off for $18,300 earlier this year. It was also posted that that exact same Yankee on deck circle was auctioned off again this year and it only fetched $3050. All this information is available online at Heritage auctions. So the latest sale price for a similar type of on deck circle that similar to yours is in the $3000 range.
Your autographs add some value but most definitely not worth a multiple of what an on deck circle would sell for. I’m not an autograph collector but I would say that the autographs would add less than $1,000 to the value. It doesn’t raise is exponentially.
You can ask whatever you want for an item but I can tell you that I was trying to give you a “realistic estimate” for your on deck circle. I have no interest in purchasing it as I don’t collect Reds items but if I did I would be interested as it’s a nice piece. Also, I do own an on deck circle that I paid $600 for.
