Premium for Lionel Carter collection cards

I know who he is. I just don't place a premium on a previous owner. To me, the card is the card.

Agree 100 percent.

Depends on the card and who the buyer is. I see both arguments, but I personally place a small premium on some of his tougher cards because well, I think it's cool.

I believe that any additional value given to card based on who collected it in the past is assigned by the purchaser.

For example, I paid a little more for a T206 Tinker from the Skydash collection, solely because I enjoyed remembering how the discovery of the collection unfolded on this board. To me the memory was worth the extra $20 I paid for the card.

Maybe someday my grandson will ask me why the card is encapsulated with Skydah on the label and I will have a good story to tell him about how some old cardboard was rescued from the garbage.

Best regards,

Joe

That is exactly how I feel about this scenario as well. Joe, your explanation was spot on IMO.

There is indeed a premium, but it solely depends on the purchaser. I enjoy purchasing cards with pedigree labels...they give the card more history and if it's someone famous in the hobby, it makes the card that much more special...but that's just me

I have only had one Lionel Carter card ever. It brought no premium whatsoever.

I think there should be a small premium. In the interest of full disclosure, I own the first set he completed - collected straight out of packs. In the interest of further disclosure, it is NOT for sale.

That's awesome, Jim. I too think there should be a small premium...just like there is with original owner cards...the provenance has value...to some that is!

Agreed. Again this is personal. I would think that over time the actual value increase would be minimal.

Very cool Jim how much?

[calvindog]

I'd pay a premium for, among other reasons, the reduced likelihood that the card is trimmed.
