Will provenance become more important?

Posted By: Harry Wallace (HW)

Being a long time coin collector, I have always been used to seeing a premium being paid for coins with good provenance. For example a coin from the famed Eliasberg collection will sell for quite a bit more that an equal coin with no provenance. Although I do not collect comic books, I see that provenance is noted on many books: Mile High, etc.

As a collector are you willing to pay a large premium for a card that comes directly from a great collection, such as Carter's and is that premium based on the fact that the card is associated with a hobby icon or that there is a less likely chance that the card has been tampered with?

Personally, I would pay a premium for such a card mainly because I would feel comfortable that the card was totally original.
