I guess we have a market decision on Ali's RC
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-Hemmet...C/401457383949
A PSA 9 1960 Hemmetts went for $15,109.09. Only a handful of boxing cards I know of besides the 48 Leaf Graziano have sold for over $10,000, so this is a big deal. There've been lots of debates, here and elsewhere, over what constitutes Ali's RC. I've always advocated for the Hemmetts card. I guess a few bidders were thinking the same thing. Some other cards in the PWCC auction had interesting results: 1962 Rekord Clay PSA 8 $425 1951 Ringside --Tunney PSA 7 $385 --Marciano PSA 7 $711 1958 leaf Louis PSA 6 $271 1926 Spalding Dempsey PSA 8 $282 T220 --Wilson PSA 7 $305 --McAuliffe PSA 7 $135.50 --Hart PSA 8 $380 --Burns PSA 7 $135.50 --Burke PSA 8 $380 --Beecher PSA 8 $380 --Barry PSA 8 $271 Your thoughts?

A grade on a hand cut card, which is indicative in large part only of how cleanly someone was able to cut it from the full panel, is not all that meaningful to me. Sure it doesn't have the characteristic abrasion on the back which so many do have and that accounts for a lot of minty looking 4s, but still. I'd rather have the panel. Oh wait, I do have it, although not in high grade. As to the rookie card question, I do agree with Adam that it is his rookie.

Looks like the boxing market is heating up......still many undervalued issues.

I sure hope so...
Maybe not meaningful to you, Peter, but it meant $15K to at least two people. I agree, the full panel is better but registry uber alles.

Let me go check but I believe a PSA 9 went for 40k in a recent Heritage auction.

Yeah $40,800. I don't think the registry has anything to do with a card selling for more than the page. It is being treated like a card and I personally would much rather own the individual Clay than the page with the others on it. I think if you polled 100 collectors at least 90% would rather the single cut out card. |
