E77 Bat Nelson and Ad Wolgast - scarcity
Can we talk about this card? I can only find the one at the MET from Burdick's collection and a second auctioned by Heritage in a set(2010). I was fortunate to win this and may have well overpaid, but took the risk. What is your take on the scarcity or rarity of this card?

e77
any from that series are fairly tough so if you overpaid a bit, it may be worth the money to not have to search endlessly for it. It took me a while to secure the wrestlers from the set and i am always looking to upgrade but they do not come up too often. I think you did okay.

Abe and Monte Attell
I was surprised at how much this Attell went for a couple days ago on Ebay. It’s really not that rare compared to other cards in the set. Prices are still pretty strong.

E80 also tough. Cool card.

$362.89 on the E80 is a strong price but I think it reflects a lack of inventory on the tougher prewar and 19th century issues. it almost feels to me like everyone is holding their breath to see if boxing experiences a gold rush like some of the other sports, so no one is selling the good stuff. Run searches on the tougher N, E and T sets on eBay; virtually nothing there. On the rare issues, some haven't been offered in more than a year.

I don't think it's any scarcer than the other E77's; the whole issue is fairly tough. I only have 11 of them after quite some years keeping an eye on the low grade end. I dipped out on this card well below your winning bid.
Last couple years have been very, very light on the tougher boxing sets appearing for sale. |
