In this lovely internet era, every step of the way for most cards is easily traced and sale prices are easily produced. There's always an eTrail to follow dating back to the late 90's

Are there examples beyond the Jennings that support a value of only a few thousand dollars for HOFers in a 2-4 grade range? I would be surprised to see the card in this thread go for 4-6k at auction but I've been out of the back craze for a few years so maybe I'm off. The other question to ask ourselves is how much is it worth if we owned it.

A Sam Crawford SGC 40 3 went on Ebay for $4200 a couple of months ago. It was BIN, and went within 20-30 minutes of the card being listed. It was a very good looking card.

I figured Tinker would be a bigger seller than Crawford, but I may be wrong. What is your opinion?

Tinker is more desirable and there are enough Chicago collectors that it should go higher than Crawford. If it were his portrait then I don't know that we'd be having this discussion. Will it get $10k on bst with a motivated seller? I doubt it.

Not right now it wouldn't, lol. I've had this discussion with a lot of members here trying to sell right now. Seems like many people are having a rough go of it right now in the BST sections. Too many members saving their money right now for REA and the National coming up. This is probably the worst time to have cards listed for sale right now. There's a lot of great deals on cards in BST section right now and they're just barely moving at all. A lot of us were contemplating pulling the listings and waiting until after the National.

HOF rare backs are hit or miss. I've seen some that you'd expect to go for a ton, sell low, and vice versa. 2 months ago I bought a clean PSA 1.5 McGraw Lenox back for only 1300. That is just slightly above a common price for that back. I've been told by Scot R that his back multiplier chart is just for commons, not HOFers. I believe it was also he who said his guess for HOFers would be about 1/2 of the common multiplier, maybe he could jump in here and explain why. But from my perspective I'd much rather have a common rare back and not pay any premium for a HOFer on the front. I think many back collectors would agree.

There's several tiers of HOFers, Tinker being on the lower end.

The same exact price that has been quoted for the OP....It is what it is. Everybody overvalues their cards.....until reality sets in and if you wanna actually sell it, you have to price accordingly or send it to auction and hope some sucker with a little jing in his pocket goes over his head and overpays because he "needs it". Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. It's a 4-6K card on a normal day.
