1954 Johnston Cookies Milwaukee Braves Uncut Sheet

[EMT911inWI]

Thanks a ton for the feedback! I'm hopefully going to get an opportunity in the next few days to see the item in person. I'll post any findings on the Thompson. I was doing some research as well and found that this person has been attempting to sell this for quite some time now. I'm not entirely sure why it hasn't made it to auction yet. She appears to have some knowledge on the piece and claims that the her grandfather was offered $40k in 1977. (I find this extremely hard to believe).

Thanks again! I'll keep you updated with my findings.

$40K lol

that "hype story" would turn me off right there.

I agree its not worth the $7K.


there are small sheets too

PS shes being using that "$40K" line for over 4 years now (Net54 post in 2008), so at least sticks with the same unbelievable story. (and David, check out your post, you were wrong lol )

saw the one on CL Milwaukee, its $7500 and was from 3 days ago, its the same sheet

now if you could somehow get this crazy $$

then the large sheet is worth well over $7K, but I think they paid too much for the REA small sheet. And now Im thinking the SCD pricing for the "uncut sheet" is based on this one crazy $$ sale.

Definitely DO NOT CUT IT UP in any way! It would greatly lessen the value!

Jeff, you don't have to worry that it is a reprint/counterfeit. The fakers don't have the capacity for such a large format.

That is reassuring news, thanks Bob!

There was one for sale in one of the major auctions last year but cant remember which auction. I believe it went for 3 to 4K but cant remember.
