Old Cardboard and Legendary

[Leon]

One of their principals has been a Cubs collector for a long time...

Only time will tell how Legendary will do. All 3 executives have a lot of experience and a lot of networking in the hobby....

Doug has been a big Cubs collector for a long time so I don't think I am revealing any big secret here.

It is a good auction but I am surprised at how low the T208's are. Remember a common sold in the live July auction for $20,400. Most of them are currently $500 or less as of today. Sure they will have a lot of activity the last night, but the 20K price was clearly an aberration.

I'm not sure it was an aberration; it seems to me that it may just be reflective of the supply/demand at the time vs now. If they had listed only 1 now, it might get close to those heights as well. Or, it might have been an aberration...

No doubt the supply has drastically changed the perception. The one in July was the first one offered in about five years. Now between Legendary and REA we have 33 on the block. And we will almost certainly never see this kind of supply again.

What is the link to the Old Cardboard auction? I was on the Old Cardboard site, and can't seem to find a link to their auction?

Thanks,
Tony

Is there an auction house called "old cardboard"? I guess I am confused. Maybe it is a reference to the "old cardboard" in the Legendary auction?

Points #1 and #2 are NOT connected.

Old Cardboard is a magazine, and judging by Rich's post, I'd guess he got his in the mail today.

Legendary is the auction house.

Ahh yes, the magazine. And a fine magazine it is. Thanks for setting me straight Jim.
