    And on another board they are calling it a debacle- going for much, much lower than expected.

    Didnt they sell just a small portion of the 700 cards? I think they are spreading out the auctions over 3 years.

    Not sure about anyone else but I would love to stumble on half a million.

    Maybe the estimates were the "debacle".

    Like fur said, I thought they only sold a few of the cards, one set and a few of the higher grade singles?

    They sold 37 cards, one of which was the Wagner.

    From the article:
    A sampling of the treasure trove that had been untouched for 100 years was sold Thursday night during the National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore, Md. The 37 baseball cards featuring the likes of Hall of Famers Ty Cobb, Cy Young and Honus Wagner fetched a combined $566,132 in brisk online and live bidding. They were expected to bring about $500,000.

    566 thousand and change divided by the 20 family members comes to about 28,000 per family member. Then deduct all fees and taxes and I would have held on to my share of the cards.

    IN this economy and the fact that they had no idea the cards existed........I'd jump on the cash......it's only a small portion of the 700.

    I do not believe those are the same cards.

    What are you claiming? The one on the right (from the find) is fake?
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,748 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The Cobb on the left is a PSA 4 for sale on ebay. The Cobb on the right is a PSA 9.

    I would not assume that just because background color in card on left is darker that the
    card on right is fake. I'm sure that if someone were attempting a sophisticated fake that
    they would certainly have enough red ink on hand. It is impossible to make any determination
    from a scan on a computer screen in any case without at least holding the cards
    in hand.
