    Wow!

    The 1914s are for a special group of people. I can only watch from the cheap seats.

    The 1914s might be for a special group of people, but the Matty is for an exceptionally special group of people. Very nice card, suprisingly the staining on these cards doesn't really bother me, kind of adds to the card.

    You know I meant they're expensive and that's it - right?

    There is nothing better than a quality vintage card that looks good being vintage and worn. They just don't seem right to me all MINTY and new looking.

    Yup, and the Matty is more expensive than most. Kind of like saying a Porsche 911 Turbo is fast, but a 911 Turbo GT3 is faster.

    That's how I took it Mike. I love Cracker Jacks. I love the thought of a wispy-thin little piece of Mathewson (or Jackson, or Cobb, or Johnson) paper fluttering out of some 1914-1915 book at an antique store one day at me. image

    The '14 Matty is one of the most desireable pre war cards, and has been shooting thru the roof the last few years. I'm betting 17500-18K on this one.

    1914 Cracker Jacks are probably the most difficult issue ever....most of the cards were Rat eaten due to the tasty caramel coated paper...also there was no redemption program for the 1914 like there was for the 1915's... the only place you could get these thin little pieces of paper was in the sticky box!!...

    notice the Rat eaten corners (they like paper with no die)....

    EDIT: CRACKER JACKS LOOK WAY BETTER IN THE RED PSA HOLDER THAN THe sgc holder.....

    I would respectively disagree PA.

    Given the issue, my guess is that PSA in the auction title isn't doing a thing. Add to that the seller (do some investigation on N54) and that card is doing very well.

    I think horizontal CJ's are about as nice as any cards, ever.

    For $50.00 shipping charge are they going to drive it to my house?

    $50 seems quite reasonable for this card..

    Pandrews,

    I am not a postal expert, however I have sent in a PSA submission via priority registered mail with $15,000 worht of insurance for around $30.00. I can't imagine that the packaging for this item would cost $20.00. Clear high shipping in my opinion.

    $50 shipping on a roughly $20K card is fine. And I also think any buyer willing to pony up close to $20K or more is NOT going to be worried about paying another $50 for shipping. What rips me are the ton of guys on ebay charging $2 shipping on a single ungraded card and then stuffing it in a regular mail envelope with a 39cent stamp on it. Go after those guys.

    I mean come on...

    I can see 9 bucks...

    but 9.04?

    if I was making 15K on a baseball card, I'd ship that thing wrapped in a mile of bubble wrap. $50 is not a big deal.
  • Options
    Stone193Stone193 Posts: 24,358 ✭✭✭✭✭
    If ya consider that the card will sell for more than 16K - the 50 bucks to ship it is moot IMO.

    Now...

    If it were $50.04? I would be absolutely, totally offended!

    If I were selling a card for 15K or higher, I'd PAY for full shipping & insurance. Just my .02.

    I agree about on both counts. I just paid $5 shipping charge for a graded card which came to me in a white envelope with tape around it and a .63 shipping label. I don't mind paying above actual shipping charges when the card is packaged properly.

    Looks like it realized 50% more than it did in American Memoribilias auction a few months ago. Nice flip.
