-the '58 wht letter in 9 went for more than recent copies, including the same Slusser copy from two years ago -ditto the '71 in 9, about 30% more than recently -the more easily to achieve 9s came in right around their typical range it seemed to me -the '72 and '73 10s came in more or less along the spectrum of the past couple years as well -the '69 super 10 went for much more than 'recently', though this was the first recorded sale in 2 yrs -to me the real surprise was the '57 T salesman panel, which went for much more than I would have guessed, in part since it has no registry value except bragging rights. True there are only 2 cited publicly, so the scarcity is interesting, but they're sort of ugly IMO, in that they're not 'real' issues, complicated by unrelated non-stars attached, back has nothing to do with the front, and I guess I'll stop there. That said, I bid on it myself, pretty hard, and was very much surprised to be pushed into giving up on it--I just really didn't expect that. And since you asked, my one thought/theory is that there could be a new player in town?

Oh Michael - no new players - just hardcore old ones

There is a board member here who is very knowledgeable about the salesman panels and said that they are selling for a lot less now than they used to - even the Clemente with what I bought it for. To me these things are WAY undervalued and underappreciated - With rare exception there are only 2-3 known of any given panel - rarer than many test issues and just as cool (imo). I picked up the 59 Mantle panel from REA also. I have the 1962 Clemente as well. All the best! Howard Last edited by hcv123; 07-28-2018 at 10:18 PM.

I'm very pleased you got it then, rather than falling into the hands of some of the jerk eBay sellers that grab things, slap a 5x BIN price on them, where they languish forever, essentially leaving collectible circulation---that sort of nonsense drives me bonkers.

Mark, do you have the Brooks proof? When I bought the Clemente, I also bought a Brooks. Unfortunately, I sold it a long time ago. Day 212 1966 Topps...

I know the majority of collectors like the regular versions of cards, but I prefer the “proof” type stuff.
