1962 Post oversized cards?

Exhibitman · #1 11-05-2014, 09:53 AM

I doubt the buyer did not know what they were. I was an underbidder. I knew they were not regular issue box cards. I assumed that they were from a POP display or advertisement of some sort [it is really nice to see the display, thanks for posting it Fred].

The fact that MEARS was ignorant wasn't a serious factor. They are cool as heck. IMHO display items are second only to production items in terms of rarity, so whether they were cut from a display or constitute a full display is really only a matter of pricing rather than desirability. A proper full display I think would have brought a multiple of the hammer price of these 'cards'.

If the winner doesn't want them, I'll take them at my bid...They'd look real nice in an SGC holder; they do nice work with display items under 9" tall.

Hi Adam et. al

I agree entirely with what Adam says about the rarity of these items. If it had been the entire display, we are talking BIG BUCKS as Adam noted

As for the buyer not knowing what they are, rest assured he (I) knew. I just wish the Unitas would have been included so I could have added that to my collection too.

As you know Adam I am not a graded guy but your suggestion about having SGC encapsulate it has me thinking......

That's cool. It doesn't sound like you bought them to flip for a quick profit any way. So long as you're happy with the cards and the price you paid that's all that really matters.

Go for it, Fred. Every large item like this I've had encapsulated looks really spiffy when it is done, costs way less than a proper framing job would, and makes the eventual sale a lot easier.
