Default Uncatalogued cards

Posted By: jay behrens

With collectors paying large premiums for uncatalogued cards many collectors are now reluctant to expose recent finds of unctalogued cards becuase the subsequent listing of these cards would devalue them. I'm in that position myself. I have 2 uncatalogued cards, but won't mention them here or even what set they are from becuase I want to protect their value. But the collector and historian in me wants to bring these cards into the open so that others know they exist.

The n173 thread brings up a good point, when an uncatalogued card does come to light, they are listed but the value of card is list the same as similar cards, regardless of the fact that this is the only example to exist. How can the price guides claim to use sales price to come up with values when they obviously don't reflect it in cards like this. I'd love to hear from Mr Lemke as to why this happens?
