Walter Johnson PSA 6 and Dave Bancroft 1 of 1

[awrede2]

I have a couple HOF cards for sale. I'm hoping to get 3.5k for the pair but would also listen to best offers and trade options. See attachments

The Bancroft is a true 1 of 1. No other cards graded in ANY grade from PSA on this.

Before the card surge this spring another Walter Johnson went for 1.3k. That's the only comp I have. This is a pop 5, just got it back from PSA

Email me at alexwrede83@gmail.com for any questions

Thank you!!

Welcome to Net54

First off, you posted in the wrong section.

Second, your "true 1 of 1" is true only for the slab of plastic that surrounds the card. The card itself is not actually a 1 of 1 at all, there others, I have one myself, in similar shape to yours, but I didn't feel the need to pay somebody to encase it in plastic.

Semantics maybe, but some of us old grumpy guys get riled up about the idea of something being unique, when in fact it is not.

Here's another "true 1 of 1" in that it's the only trimmed Wagner that the opinion sellers graced with such a high opinion.

Doug,

Thanks for your thoughts! I think you may be mistaken, this Bancroft is the Wool's set, not w551. If you have another Wool's card that's awesome! Is it for sale?

We can only speak to what we know exists and my Bancroft is the only known in the PSA shared population for any grade. I understand your concerns on grading, it's not something I'm in love with either so ya, I'm with you.

Thanks again!

I'm not "concerned" about grading, I just think it's stupid, I however have no problem with you or anybody else paying somebody for their (often invalid) opinion.

I was simply pointing out that your "1 of 1" is not unique (as "1 of 1" implies).

I'm fully aware of what type of card you posted, I looked at the pictures in your various posts before I responded.

Yes, your card is the only card that has been graded by that particular opinion seller, but that does not make your card a "1 of 1" that makes slab slab a "1 of 1".

I suppose mine is a "1 of 1" because it's likely the only one that has been in the Gelson's grocery store in Studio City.

This. A true 1 of 1 is a unique card, not the only one whose owner paid a specific company to tell them what it is.

Don’t let the grumps bully you. The big auction houses use the term 1/1 all the time. But they’d rather make their point with the new guy.
