this auction went for median price but condition is considered much higher than what i see you have.

IMHO, you should mat and frame this in as-is condition and decorate your den or home in some way with it. If I owned this object, it would mean more to me as something my mother cherished and the subject matter would look cooler on my wall than in some drawer/folder of a collector.

the condition is the determining factor here. If it was mint or near mint you would have some value in trying to sell it. Remember too with collectors, the object is only worth what others are willing to pay for it.

With a determined value of 100/200, you would be lucky to see even 2/3 of that from collector....even if it was in great shape. (take it from someone who was a serious collector/trading card and comic broker at one time....).

if you want to sell it, go for it. I just wanted to make sure you had the right mindset and did not get deflated when you set out to sell it.

 

there's no way i'm telling mom this PG.. all the info looks exact and that'd be right about her softball time.... she'd a been like 11.. so it was all real to an 11 yr old an her memories currently are that she got it from the Babe.. so she can live with that... but you could'a PM'd me this so i could'a talked Requiem outta his S2k... i'd a made the trade, i need spare parts... ok ok.. thank dude..

 

did not mean to rain on the parade. dont let her see this page. LOL My duty to you was to inform and make sure you had all the information before deciding to sell etc.

this was about 65 seconds of google research, anyone willing to pay any amount of money would have seen the same info.


I am sorry for killing the S trade deal.....LOL

 

na no rain.. no worries.. dad has a serious Bob Hope collection, it's off to a museum... all the things Bob gave dad during the war years and after... this i just stumbled across and I like it.. and don't have any of my 60's bubblegum cards.. put ole pete rose's rookie card in the spokes for my bicycle.. so.. the Babe can go on a wall... i'm cool with that.. and i don't think he'd a gone for the whole S2k... but i might a gotten a headlamp ignitor.. damn i hate being a popeye...
