1954 Topps Woodling crushes Wade on EBAY

acowa

Ususally EBAY becomes devoid of interesting cards a couple of weeks before the National. These two auctions caught my eye. Usually the Ben Wade card sells for $2500+ and the Woodling card pulls much less. Not last night. I thought the Wade card was a much nicer 8 as well.

This Woodling went for $2400+




This Wade went for under $2000. First time I can ever recall this happening recently.

I can tell you a few things for certain:

1950s Low Population commons in PSA 8 do extraordinarily well on Ebay, all things considered

There are a number of Dodgers and Yankees team set collectors from this era. More Yankees than Dodgers.

Finding a low population common of a 1950s set in PSA 8 of a Yankees or a Dodgers card can be extraordinarily difficult and pricey!

Is it me, or does anyone else think it ludicrous that two high grade commons went for the approxomate price of an ExMt set??

54's have been on fire lately. I had ten PSA-9's on eBay in early June and to say it had spirited bidding was an understatement. And judging from the action on 707's '54 low pop 8's, it looks like they are still sizzling...jay

If I were Levi, I would be happy with the final on the Woodling and disappointed with the Wade. I think the Wade usually commands much higher $$$ and quite frankly this one looks high end to me.

<Is it me, or does anyone else think it ludicrous that two high grade commons went for the approxomate price of an ExMt set??>

There's a lot more EX/MT sets out there than these two cards in high grade. I would bet a majority of investors would prefer to have the 2 high grade low pop cards.

I might have interest in that set. What kind of shape are cards 101 and 126 in?
