The prize card of my collection can be traced back to hobby pioneer Edward Wharton Tigar. That provenance in and of itself makes it exceptionally cool, a card for which I would pay a premium.
There have been examples of premiums paid for provenance. For example, I believe the 1952 Topps card that was owned by Mickey Mantle (from the Dreier collection) is one such example. All 1952 Mantles have a certain cache to them -- but one owned by Mantle has been demonstrated by the market to be worth a significant premium. M |
