Vintage Undervalued Roookies

Feel free to disagree, but unless it's like the M101 Babe Ruth, I've never thought that some black and white cards have gotten their due simply because of that. Most if we are being honest simply aren't as attractive as color issues.

Agree with this. Wanted to buy Teddy Ballgame's RC so many times, but the card is so not attractive in b&w and just couldn't pull the trigger. His 54 Bowman is the card to own

I've always preferred this Ted Williams card over all others.

I feel like BW is one of the reasons the '47 Bond Bread Jackie Robinsons haven't seen the increases his Leaf has. However does seem his Bond Bread portrait and rounded corner rookies are picking up steam of late.

I would say the 51 bowman mantle is under valued as compared to the jump the 52topps counter part has recognized. I think the 51 bowman mantle rookie will be on its way up on the near future. $10k for a psa 1 type jump.

A PSA 1 51 Bowman Mantle just sold for over $11K in the last Clean Sweep Auction.

There's a sgc4 52 topps just ended not long ago for 50k by the same seller. I think buyer gets a good deal. Horrible picture so yellowish and scratch up holder. Seller should do a little bit of work before selling or leave to professional. At least reholder it and take some decent picture and don't set it to end in the early morning.

No shit. Great point.
Seller is lucky these cards sell themselves in this feeding frenzy.

It's a bit of an unknown if the Bond Bread portraits are keeping up with the other Jackie iconic cards ('48 Leaf, '49 Bowman & '52 Topps), but my guess is that a mid to high grade example would bring record prices if brought to market right now. The total pop is 10-20% of those other cards, so there are much fewer sales comps over the last few months since prices exploded. Two PSA 6's sold in August 2020 for $15k and $19k, and another PSA 6 sold in January for $30k, so it had begun to take off like the others. The SGC 8.5 sold last August for $35k. A PSA 7 sold for $32k in early December. Based on the recent surge in prices for Jackie, I think anything higher than a PSA 5 would probably set a record now.
