Mayo John Dunlop Auction
There is a Mayo Cut Plug John Dunlop on kind of an obscure-ish auction site here:
http://sportscardlink.com/auctions/i...541&id=1106541 It's extremely rare and considered the "Honus" of football cards - its still priced pretty reasonably all things considered. I'm actually considering bidding on it but I wanted to hear others thoughts on the true value of the card. Any thoughts? |

If I were chasing this set I'd think this was a good opportunity to get a nice example of that card - and right now at a fair price - but the price of this card is the reason I gave up chasing the set.

I definitely want to just own a card from the set. A couple of those lower priced ones are intriguing, just to say I have and to have a new oldest card in my collection.

Kevin, did you check VCP? There's no guarantee they have it, but for 3.99 worth a try. Even with your post here, assuming the min bid isn't already above market, someone may get a deal - that AH was never on my radar anyway. And I think the card has really good eye appeal for the grade.

I believe there was a hidden reserve on that card and it didn't sell. Not a big fan of hidden reserves.

Hi Jeff, I just saw that too - it shows 4 bids, so someone probably met that minimum bid, but it also shows a starting bid of 1$ and it isn't displaying how high the bidding got which is strange. Interestingly about 18 of them sold - that's the most I've ever noticed in a single auction - that's about half the set done and the toughest card out of the way had someone gone after all of them.
Finally, I was reading the inside cover of the new GG yesterday and it mentions there are only 4 known examples.... Does that sound about right? I had no idea the card was that rare. Last edited by TanksAndSpartans; 04-28-2016 at 09:49 AM. |

Interesting stuff. We had a Dunlop + a number of other Mayo FB cards and boxers walk in to our shop about 4 years ago. Today we had 6 of them (no Dunlop of course/unfortunately) walk in. What are the odds? They appear to be trimmed (very minimal) though they have a great appearance otherwise. Just sent them off to SGC. The group included Hinkey, Thorpe, Poe, Murphy, Manahan and 1 other.

There's no Thorpe in the Mayo set, though. Maybe it is Thorne? jeff |

I saw the one on eBay too. I like the eye appeal of the one that started the post much better.

Yes. Sorry for the error. Thorne not Thorpe.
