$100,000 Card

[Throttlesteer]

There's just something wrong with a single-A ballplayer's card selling for more than some of the greatest Hall of Famers ever to play the game. I can understand Trout or even Yelich. But a top prospect that may never do a thing in MLB?

I can't imagine anyone on here would rather have that Franco than a high grade Ruth or Cobb.

Hasn't Cobb's W600 already sold for more than $100K?

Seems like I have seen more Cobb Rose postcards sold the last couple of years than most of the other Hall of Fame players. To me, it seems like Cobb already sells for a huge premium in that set compared to someone like Wagner.

My guess for the next $100K card would be a W600 of Mathewson where he is in a suit.

Sounds good to me!

Mathewson suit in mid grade would blow by 100k, more likely 250+ which is the area Wagner suits have brought and the Mathewson has just slightly lower known population as Wagner. Cobb is now many multiples of the 100k, doubtful that 1m would buy one now.

I will add that the buyers of the modern super cards and the vintage key cards are two separate groups of buyers for the most part, each having little interest in the other's area. The modern super card buyer insist on pristine cards and have little regard for cards less than perfect, thus even the T206 Wagner does not get them as excited due to having condition issues of various kinds in each and every example. Plus the Wagner is 1 of 70ish, they want 1 of 1, even if it is a newly minted variance of many, many other very similar cards, created solely to be slightly different and thus it's 1 of 1 status(or some other ratio of created scarcity).

Agreed, but apparently we are wrong.

No way on Ewing, too common relatively speaking, and the big hitters probably already have him.

Three years ago one sold for $51,000. Let's see. Time will tell.

One sold on our BST for around 52k, maybe 10-12? yrs ago.....My guess is it is still a 50k card. That said, since I sold it, it will probably be 200k. And I agree on the P and S 1869 card.

LOL, that seems to be my MO also.

Well a Harry Wright Pose 3 just sold for $16k today - a strong price for sure, but a ways to go to get to $100k

(assuming that's the pose you meant, Jay)

That is a long way off of $100K. LOL.

Digging through old posts and found this thread...interesting what can happen to the "hobby" in a year or two. I guess a few cards can be added to the list. 😊

A few? Try over 1000 cards over $100K and counting.
Maybe we should ask what’s the next card over $20M?
