I don't disagree with that. I just think the consignor wasn't fronting that bill.

I assume it was getting passed down net to seller either way.

Yeah, I assume as well. So the seller said yes to Trading Card because it was cheaper. The seller already had the full PSA letter from the Hunt Auction, and probably figured it was sufficient. Just guessing at this point.

1987 Topps Ricky Wright is my vote because it's pure salt, angst, and very odd pride for a 1987 Topps autograph set collector.

It's everything right and wrong with the hobby in a single seller/purchaser transaction.

Default Might as well…
Might as well get all 3 signed Green Cobbs into the same thread. The third presented here is Jeff Morey’s, last auctioned in 2001. Here’s the catalog page.

Note the superior Gehrig, if we’re going to include a 1933 Gehrig in the discussion.

This is where it came from...



And when they sold back in August 1995, this is what they went for:

Bat Off ($715)
Bat On ($1,485)
Red ($1,980)
Green ($1,017.50)
T205 ($1,650)
T202, including original Hassan pack and Cobb’s envelope ($2,860).

So, did Honus ever sign a T206? That would have to be the autographed card in collecting. If not anything Joe Jackson, especially if it was a E-90 autographed.

From the original choices given in this thread I would say the Cobb.

By popular demand. Hard to believe it was 24 years ago that this glorious relic landed in my lap. Available one of these days; keep an eye on the obituaries. Have seen at least three other signed '34 Gehrigs come along since then, a couple of them owned by (perhaps erstwhile) Net54ers. One of the cards has a finer, and nicer in my opinion, signature. Some phenomenal cards in this thread!

This 34 Gehrig is absolute fire. I’d definitely trump it over the 33!

Default some wonderous signed cards . . .
.

. . . and not nearly as vintage, nor as wonderous as some of those shown, I still think an authentic signed 1964 Topps Giant Clemente care is still one to put into a top 15 or 20 list.
