1927 Middy Bread

[jefferyepayne]

Anyone have any pricing data on these cards? I've checked VCP and there are a couple of sales of commons from 2015 that went for $400 (ish). Card Ladder has lots more that went for $20-$30 but I suspect they are from the reprint set as that seems way way too low for cards from this set.

What do you all think HOFers would go for if they came up at auction these days?

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Jeff:

This is probably one of those issues where they are too rare for their own good. I’ve never heard of anyone looking to put this set together, just finding a single example for a type collection is nearly impossible. I think most HOF’ers would be in the $1-2K range. Of course, condition could play a big part in going higher or lower. Commons probably still a few hundred, maybe not a huge difference from several years ago.

Thanks Phil!!! I appreciate your insights.

I see REA pulled the Middy Bread card from their auction. Maybe CSG isn't so great at distinguishing the reprints from the originals.

There isn't a grading company that doesn't miss some. Not all of the graders are experienced experts.

I would say kind of similar to the small group of William Patersons on eBay not too long ago. Condition was pretty rough on those but still a super rare set and nothing really exploded beyond the parameters that I just mentioned before.
