T206 - PWCC Auction Last Night

[Republicaninmass]

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)
