1949 Paige

1) Priced at $6500 (8 lists for $2700, 9 for $14000)--what do you think of that price?

2) Would someone please buy this so I am not tempted to? What a nice card . . .

Thanks.

I think I just had a heart attack....

That's one of the toughest cards in my set.

VCP average for an 8 is $2,937.48 and VCP average for a 9 is $18,914.00 (one sale).

I'd say his asking price is fair. I might offer $5,000.00 and see what he says.

Dang nice card though.

Yeah--I thought someone here might want it. The color is gorgeous and even the rough edges look nice. Not familiar with seller--just bowled over by card itself.

OnlyThe10s

I hear ya man.

If I had a few grand to spare, I'd be all over this. That's the toughest card along with the Jackie Robinson in this set.

I've been collecting 1949 Bowman for almost a year now. My set is in the link in my sig line. Nothing special there, but a few 8's :-)

That is a beauty card. Nice, bright, colors. If I had the $$ I would be all over that!

It isn' t Jay from quality cards, I do know that

Wondo

Ted, it's a different Quality Cards, I think this one is Craig Roehrig in Wisconsin.
edited to add- looks like a nice submission- if you change the last 3 numbers in the cert to 518 you'll see he got the same card in a 9 as well.

Good luck on your offer Wondo.

wow- nice card. But I just don't get it.

Two months ago that card was an 8. Two months ago that card averaged about 3K. Now that card is worth twice as much? Grading - funny, eh?

Or, the seller saw it as a high-end 8 and had a price of $6000 on it. No one wanted to buy it because "it's only an 8." Now the seller is able to get a fair price for such a fantastic card, while the buyer will be happy because the grade more accurately represents the actual card.

As a note, I love the rough cuts on the sides. The bottom corners must be what kept it from a 9, right?

Awesome card, but still annoying how sellers add "9?" to their listing.

Very nice card!

I'ld like to see the 9 also.

Good point, but two months ago a generic 8 was 3k - this card has always been worth more, just a smaller audience (read "more downside") in the plain 8 holder

I agree.....

That is one sweet looking card... WOW

What a beautiful card,I've always prefered the Bowman over his leaf counterpart.

Priced at does not mean it will sell at.


With that said it is a very nice card.


A card that the .5 grading scale was meant for.

Anyone know what happened to that card?

OnlyThe10s

Somebody missed out, that's what happened.

Looks like it ended on time with one declined offer.
