Today, lets put together the previous two posts and come up with my ten most valuable cards.
I really thought that there would be more non-Cubs on the list. But nope, there are just three. And if I had a price for the T206 Joe Tinker, it would be down to just two.
There are ten player among the ten cards. Five of the ten are in the Hall of Fame. One is still active. The other four are on the list because the price of high-numbered 1952 cards has gone through the roof. I am so thankful that I picked mine up year ago. Otherwise I would have not been able to complete the 1952 Cubs set. There is on way I could justify paying $1,200 for Turk Lown, Randy Jackson, Bill Serena, and Hal Jeffcoat.
#10 - 1969 Topps #500 Mickey Mantle - $206.37
#9 - 1971 Topps #400 Hank Aaron - $281
#5 - 1952 Topps #341 Hal Jeffcoat - $300
#5 - 1952 Topps #330 Turk Lown - $300
#5 - 1952 Topps #325 Bill Serena - $300
#5 - 1952 Topps #322 Randy Jackson - $300
#4 - 1909-1911 American Tobacco T206 Johnny Evers bat on shoulder - $420
#3 - 1909-1911 American Tobacco T206 Frank Chance batting - $630
#2 - 2011 Topps Update #175 Mike Trout - $710
#1 - 1954 Topps #94 Ernie Banks - $886
I have Tinker & Chance, but not Evers. I do have an extra John McGraw, so I hope that is somehow going to be worth what it will take to get an Evers. For most of my T206s though, it would be a minor miracle if they graded as a “1”
ReplyDeleteMine aren’t in the greatest shape either. But I’m just fine with that.
ReplyDeleteYeah they transcend condition, until you get to maybe > 25% surface paper loss. I’m quite looking forward to picking up the book written about each player/card, and simply collecting the reprints.
