T206 - PWCC Auction Last Night
Great auction with lots of quality cards. Some very healthy prices, no? In some cases a little crazy I thought (see Young Portrait or Nap w/ Bat Fact 42 Op, etc.).
Anyone on this forum nail down either that Cy Young bare hand Old Mill or the Red Cobb CB? I was outbid in both cases by $100 (who knows how much more ultimate buyer would have paid). Seems that prices for HOF rare front/back combos are getting awfully high (see also Red Cobb AB from a few weeks ago). |

Fan Craze
I can't speak for the T206 prices, but I was able to pick up a 1906 Fan Craze that I needed at a great price!

The price for the Young portrait was hefty. I believe someone may think it really is a 6.5 or a 7. Nice card though.
The Green Cobb with the crease in the bottom left went for 7800. Truly insane pricing. That card is exploding out of control. The other high grade HOF players had good upticks. There were bidders with 0 feed back and low numbered feedback on some of them which is always a concern. Pretty surprised at the Carolina Bright Cobb. I originally thought I wanted to bid on it, but in general I am steering away from cards that have major problems like the missing paper on the back. I have this gut feeling like it will be hard to resell for a direct sale, and there is always some risk on shilling with a card like that which will make it even harder to find a buyer at the price point. Generally just staying away from cards that have issues with them. 3's through 6's without creases or centering issues or major paper issues. |

A green cobb psa 4 sold at a show recently for 8500. Although all 4s are not created equal, a well centered deep rich color example for 7800 isnt "truly insane" in my opinion.

I believe the crease part to be the insane aspect of the price. I bought one for 8, that is well centered, has nice/nicer corners and no crease. I believe the corners and centering to be the same.

The Cobb Bat On also drew a pretty serious price tag.
The top left corner was a little soft but the registration helped it out. Think 5600 is a high price for that card especially since the SGC example doesn't look to far off it, for 1100 cheaper. Generally there are big differences in SGC 5 and PSA 5, but those so close that I am surprised at the price gap. |

Right, anything for major money in a PSA 4 or higher with a crease makes it really hard to sell in a private sale for a top of market price....never know in an auction though. I keep seeing my two former super centered green cobb psa 4s i tried to sell here on net54 being sold and sold again at record prices....its the gift that keeps on giving and making me throw up again and again...

My take
I think whoever won the Carolina brights back Cobb did very well. Even though I'm sure that's probably a record price for that card, there's only 14 of those known. It's Ty cob. It's T206. It's super rare. The sky is the limit for cards like that in my opinion.

Cobb bat off PSA 6 went for over 9k. I know it was super centered but, that is over 1500 higher than the PSA 6 from last month. Btw. That was me that won that one (my 7500 feels a little more reasonable now).

While some hefty prices, also many well below "average" of recent sales. The SL 5s were all over the map, as we HOF 5s and 6s, with some head scratchers on either end--definitely a few bargains I should have snagged with just a little more effort or wisdom (things happen too fast).... It does seem that premiums for centered cards, which bodes well for my collection when I sell...

It had a slight diamond cut to the keen observer.

I had to work last night so I couldn't bid. I asked my brother to bid for me. I told him to bid $2,200 for the T206 M. Brown portrait. On his own, he bid $2,252. The next highest bid was $2,251, so I won a $2,200 card by one dollar.
I thanked my brother, because I would rather spend a little more than lose the card. He was still laughing about it this morning when we talked. |
