T206 "Magie" Error Prices

Steve

I usually agree with you....but I cannot this time.

I acquired my first MAGIE card in the 1980's. It cost me 600 for a Vg one. I sold it for 1500 in the mid 1990's.

In 2006, I bought another MAGIE card for my PIEDMONT set. It cost me 4000 for a Vg one.

Nowadays, MAGIE cards in similar condition are selling (direct sales or Auctions) for 10K, or more.

I know people who has multiple copies of Magie and Plank. Pretty sure there are people has multiple Wagner, Cobb back and possibly Doyle Nat'l. I don't see their prices would drop at all....

Lol. Just trying to stir the pot as usual . . . .

Ted hope you are staying healthy and well. I believe you are in Jersey as am I. Seems like every other person I know right now (including my wife) has tested positive. Be safe out there as they said on Hill Street Blues.

I think the one just ended on ebay was shilled a bit, but in the end it was priced likely appropriately. I agree with most that its a great card - a well-known error of the best-known old-timey set. The idea that its somewhat attainable (as opposed to wags/plank/doyle) make it a must have for me personally.....SO SELL ME ONE!

I'm not sure about trimmed, but perhaps a generous grade (8). The top corners are a little softer than the bottom corners but I don't see the bat ears at the corners that would be the tell tale sign of trimming. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if it was trimmed. Awesome centering and registration.

Not sure those top borders get an 8 today. But you can offer less than the 990k....

Fred,

Based on your "bat ears" comments, would love to hear your opinion on these 2 cards. Trust me I already know the answer.

Fred · #10 01-09-2022, 06:26 PM

Ewe... Just my humble opinion - without actually having it in hand to look at all angles it's tough to say. That said, the Paige has "that" look but would hate to make that judgement call on one picture.

I can't see anything wrong with the Phillip card because of the picture size and angle.

Just curious, what grades do the cards have?

Hey Steve

I'm originally a "Jersey Boy" (Phil Rizzuto was my nearby neighbor in Hillside, NJ).

When I retired (over 20 years ago), I was smart enough to "go West young man"....and we crossed the Delaware River into Pennsylvania.
It's a friendlier State, and taxes are considerably lower than Joisey.

This part of Bucks County (PA) has had a low incidence of of Covid. In fact, the town just north of us has NONE.

Take care, Steve.
