T206/HOF question?
Posted By: John
This is more of a hypothetical question,and with the new hall of fame voting rules next year,its more of a longshot than in the past,but if Bill Dahlen made the hall of fame,and he has pretty good numbers for his era,2400+ hits,1594 runs,1200+ rbi's,587 stolen bases,and he was a shortstop...assume he made it,what do you think that would do to the value of his t206 brooklyn variation card?in the 2 price guide i have this card is about 6x the value of commons,i dont know if this would translate to 6x the value of "common" hall of famers?....can anyone think of a similar case happening recently,maybe with george davis,vic willis?...i know with bid mcphee,not too many people thought of him as a possible HOF'er and when he made it his old judge cards skyrocketed,though i know the dahlen/brooklyn isnt as rare as them...i'd like to hear what people think?

My thoughts are that similar to rare backs like Uzit and Drum there are multiples paid for the rarity vs. a premium paid for the HOF status. In other words the Dahlen card would naturally go for more since it is rare; but although a premium could be demanded for the HOF status it would not be a multiple like it currently demands as a common. That sounds confusing. Example. Dahlen currently may sell for $200 vs. a normal common that sells for $30 in the same condition. If he reaches HOF status I think it could demand $300 to $400; but not a 6x multiple of a less scarce HOFer. |

In my experience, a vintage player getting elected to the Hall of Fame causes a very very minor bump in prices. There are some collectors who only collect Hall of Fame players, thus increasing demand slightly. |

In the past few weeks (2) Vic Willis cards in Exmt or better condition sold for over $300 on eBay and low grade examples with creases sold for around $50. This is a lot more than commons sell for. Even though his cards sold for more than typical commons before he was elected they never sold for that much money. |
