All of the Cleveland cabs went for much lower than I had anticipated.
Thought they were very reasonable.
Wonder what the consignor was anticipating?

I wonder if encapsulating the cabinets in blue flips (as opposed to red flips) from PSA hurt the value, as potential buyers may not have been sure that they were from the 1890s. (Or they could have gone to SGC w/ something similar, card and auto authenticated.)

Gary, that was probably it. My guess is that the only people interested in this cabinet were uneducated bidders with a lot of money to spend and who couldn't find a Plank or Ruth rookie to spend their money on. As you say, they probably looked at the slab, saw it had the wrong color of ink on it, and I doubt they even looked at the item within the slab. More educated hobbyists probably simply respected it for its historical value and elected to let less educated people get a crack at it.

Be serious. Most of the most valuable collections in the hobby are owned by the most knowledgable collectors. Too bad nothing could be blamed on the stupidity of "registry" folks this time.

I think you mean "be serious" as in "stop being a clown"

If not, please refer to the post I made 1 minute before yours.

I can understand the slabs in this case, not for the photos, but for the handwriting. I'm not sure how many people know how Cy Young would sign/identify B. Ewing, McKean, etc. (not saying PSA does either), but it makes distracting ink on the photo less so if you imagine ol' Cy putting his pen to it. Ten years from now if you didn't know about the provenance from this auction you might just think some nobody added the names to the front without the slab.

That makes complete sense. Seems like it would actually raise the price for those photos.
