Interest in 1947 Remar Bread Oaks?

Buccaneer

I have a Charlie Metro card from the 1947 Remar Bread Oaks that looks to be NM-MT. I will be sending this into PSA as part of my very first batch. The question is that I only see a handful of Remar Bread Oaks in the Pop Report and no listing in the SMR. Is this one of those obsure issues that no one cares about?

I care, but I'm weird.
Very few of these cards have been graded by any companies - and most of the graded ones are Casey Stengel. I don't know how much collector interest there will be a high-grade common, but I picked up several from Remar and Smith's (another Oaks set from that era) in BVG 4 territory at the opening bid for about the cost of grading a few weeks ago.

I've got the Remar run, but I must be as weird as Nick. Unfortunately this is one issue where the prices have dropped steadily over the last 10 years. You can get all 4 sets for about $400-500. if you keep your eyes open, and I don't see it coming back up. While your card sounds nice, I don't know that you'd get any more for it graded than not, unless you pulled a 10.
There is a dealer in NorCal with huge pile of these in NRMT or better condition, so there seems to be little chance of demand exceeding supply. Might be a good card to hold onto raw.

Thank you. I'll hold onto it as raw and put it in my esoteric box of cards. I never knew much of anything about this set.

The exception to all of this would be the super rare '46 and '48 team cards. If you come across those you can name your price- I think they have sold for around 1-3K each in the past
