T206 - PWCC Auction Last Night

[tennisguy]

I can't speak for the T206 prices, but I was able to pick up a 1906 Fan Craze that I needed at a great price!

The price for the Young portrait was hefty. I believe someone may think it really is a 6.5 or a 7. Nice card though.

The Green Cobb with the crease in the bottom left went for 7800. Truly insane pricing. That card is exploding out of control. The other high grade HOF players had good upticks.

There were bidders with 0 feed back and low numbered feedback on some of them which is always a concern.

Pretty surprised at the Carolina Bright Cobb. I originally thought I wanted to bid on it, but in general I am steering away from cards that have major problems like the missing paper on the back. I have this gut feeling like it will be hard to resell for a direct sale, and there is always some risk on shilling with a card like that which will make it even harder to find a buyer at the price point.

Generally just staying away from cards that have issues with them. 3's through 6's without creases or centering issues or major paper issues.

A green cobb psa 4 sold at a show recently for 8500. Although all 4s are not created equal, a well centered deep rich color example for 7800 isnt "truly insane" in my opinion.

I believe the crease part to be the insane aspect of the price. I bought one for 8, that is well centered, has nice/nicer corners and no crease. I believe the corners and centering to be the same.

The Cobb Bat On also drew a pretty serious price tag.

The top left corner was a little soft but the registration helped it out. Think 5600 is a high price for that card especially since the SGC example doesn't look to far off it, for 1100 cheaper.

Generally there are big differences in SGC 5 and PSA 5, but those so close that I am surprised at the price gap.

Right, anything for major money in a PSA 4 or higher with a crease makes it really hard to sell in a private sale for a top of market price....never know in an auction though. I keep seeing my two former super centered green cobb psa 4s i tried to sell here on net54 being sold and sold again at record prices....its the gift that keeps on giving and making me throw up again and again...

I won only one 6.5 common. I had bid on 10 or so 6's-7's but had problems with the snipping site.

Totally agree -- the Green Cobb was way over-graded and brought too high a price IMO; how does a card with that crease get that grade??!! I thought the bat-on Cobb was nice and the price seemed reasonable, although I agree the SGC 60 on Ebay is now looking more and more attractive.

I went strong on the Young Old Mill (real bummed I missed out) and equally strong on the Cobb CB; yes, the back is bad, and after all you are paying for the back, but it so rarely sells that in some regards beggars cannot be choosers.

I though the Marquard Portrait Cycle 350 was a good price, and someone won a real nice Evers Chicago PSA 7. What was up with Shag Shaughnessy going for $1500+? Great looking card, but that seemed quite high. Many decent deals on mid grade (Tinker portrait, Matty portrait, etc)

I think whoever won the Carolina brights back Cobb did very well. Even though I'm sure that's probably a record price for that card, there's only 14 of those known. It's Ty cob. It's T206. It's super rare. The sky is the limit for cards like that in my opinion.
