I was amazed to see how high this $10 Star Note sheet sold for on Ebay on the 19th of July. It was graded by PCGS. Here a link to the auction. https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/263811602555?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l10137 Was this a good deal for the buyer?
I’m leaning towards a little high....but 26 bids between 8 bidders usually makes for an exciting auction. I read somewhere that the BEP had set up their display at a major Coin/Currency show with Cabral scheduled to meet-and-greet and sign autographs. The BEP brought 2004A $10 Atlanta Star sheets, which it sold out. Some were autographed, but most were not. The 2004A $10 Atlanta Star note went directly into collectors hands and none of them when into circulation.
Probably purchased by her proud father. Someone is going to own something for the rest of their life.
I would say, for sure on the high side, i would think a unsigned version would Bring a much high premium, an examplesi had a 1959 Topps Sandy Koufax That he personally signed and it actually dropped the value, but people are going to pay what there going to pay even if its to much...LOL
Exactly. It was also the smallest sheet printing ever, at just 9,600 notes (originally 600 of the 16-subject sheets). These sheets are the only source of GF..* notes, as the block was never printed for circulation. So many of the sheets have been cut down into single notes for block collectors, or partial sheets for collectors who only save 4-subject sheets. Intact 16-subject sheets are pretty scarce. So a good chunk of the auction price probably wasn't due to the autograph, but just to the rarity of the sheet to begin with....
The autograph lowers the value for me. I didn't realize this was a special low run. I reprise my bid to $3200.
