Advice, Dark Cap Matty

[Belfast1933]

Thx for the advice... seems like an auction is a good way to see what the real value is. Appreciate the tips.

Maybe the "P" can be linked to some famous collector?

Many thanks to the Net54baseball community for the advice on the Matty - I can see the power of a community of well intentioned folks who are willing to share their experience with a less experienced collector like me

Some funny takes - “ugly?” - but even those tell me something about the card and even this forum.

Thx again - I look forward to learning more together on this forum (though I still am learning the basics of using this site!

Have a great week of collecting....

It's just redundant position marking. I've not heard specific provenance, though I do have a Stahl from the same collection.



If I know when it goes to auction, I'll be bidding. I like the card a lot.

Yes auction would show the true value of the card. But remember that "true value" is 20-28%(depending on tax) more than the hammer price. And you do not see any of that, plus have to pay a consignment fee yourself.

I agree the card would sell for around the same of 2.5 to 3 with the marks.

It sold in Dec 2018 for $500, at that time that was between the price of a 2.5 and 3 most likely. I would assume the same would be true today.

Best of luck whatever you decided.
