SCP Cy Young cabinets

T206Collector · #1 07-26-2014, 05:43 PM

I'm sure it will generate a lot of bidding interest, but I don't consider that a "baseball card" in that it wasn't sold as an insert or generally distributed as a premium. But, definitions are made to be challenged, I guess.

Fortunately, I have a signed T206 of Cy Young, faint though the signature may be, so I don't have to spend much time dwelling on this beautiful example. And for whatever it's worth, I wouldn't trade it straight up for this "card".

And I'd also rather have that W600 cabinet that he signed "D. T. Young" that was auctioned a few years back in Goodwin. If memory serves, that one only went for about $10K.

Here we go. These are the two cards I was talking about, and the last recorded auction of each. To me, these are preferred to the cabinet, even though the cabinet presents better, and is easily the better signature. The medium that is being signed is so important in this hobby. Signed Marquards are a dime a dozen -- but a signed T206 Marquard is a $1,000+ card.

Amazing picture here. I am only replying as i saw something similar to this somewhere else, currently at auction, for around 7k, with plenty of time left But looks a slight different from this one. Is there a difference as why they labeled the same????
Any guesses?
Here is the pic of it:

Looking at the auction lot on SCP's website, the Cy Young Cabinet card has a reserve on it. $100K reserve maybe?

W600's were printed over the course of many years as you can see on the label, and there are multiple poses/variations of most of the players. Is that what you were asking? The Young that you posted was created from the same image as the cabinet, but it's printed (not a photo) and was produced years later.

Here is the pic of it:

That particular W600 Young has the Type 2 mount which means that it was probably printed in 1903. That image of Young is also known on the Type 1 mount which was printed in 1902.

Obviously, the image was originally taken in 1893 or before - the date that his Just So card was issued.

Thanks for asking about the w600 Young
I may have missed that one at auction!

66k for the Cy Young Cabinet.......That is the value according to the auction ending.

CardboardTragic · #11 07-27-2014, 12:07 AM

Hard to say what the hammer price would be but I'd say 6 figures at least.

You're most likely in the very small minority. A t206 or w600 just doesn't compare to a possibly unique 1893 cabinet that shares the same image as the famed Just So card.

Agreed... By far the best autographed cy young card I've seen...if real. i'd love to have it...in a dream! none of the other issues compare.
