1865 Brooklyn Atlantics CDV for sale

Scott- I'm home where it's nice and quiet.

My guess is that the card will go for no more than $30,000. What do you think?

I don't know, but I'm going out for a steak dinner on the money I saved by Saco not taking me up on getting the testing one.

Back in my own realm, I won this today - I'm pretty sure it's an 1865 Atlantics reunion game. I just need to find a way to get it in an SGC slab with the proper labeling, and it's steak dinners for the rest of the month.

Scott just a pretty image wow

Jay,
I still think it will go for $40-$50 K, unless, of course, none of the usual suspects bid.

Why does SGC have to approve of your photo? It's amazing.

Nice pickup Scott! I was going to bid on this and forgot to set a snipe.

The funniest thing is that the winner is a financial advisor.

As a investment for his 4 year old son. So sounds like the guy doesn't even collect baseball. Wonder what rare card they will find next in a attic or old book.

Also can anyone ever see it selling for triple this amount like he thinks when he decides to sell it?

You've gotta hand it SRA. I don't think the card would have brought 80k in any of the major sports auctions.

I'm glad they found something on Net54 that they could use:

"While it is similar to the card in the Library of Congress, the card found in Maine is printed from a different negative. The two images originally could have been viewed together through a stereoscopic viewer, which created the illusion of three-dimensional depth from two-dimensional images."

100% agree. Kudos to Troy and them for putting together a great auction.
