In last week’s Post War Cards Newsletter, I shared a link to a Forbes article titled, Luka Doncic Trading Card Sells At Auction For A Record $3.12 Million. However, the card purportedly sold privately for $4.6M in 2021, marking a significant loss. So while the November 17th auction is being marketed as the highest price ever paid for a basketball card at a public auction, I’m not sure it’s really something to be celebrated.
This little market bubble has got me wondering if anyone has ever lost money on a T206 Honus Wagner or a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card. We keep seeing record prices being made for those cards. Never say never, of course.
Anyway, here on PostWarCards.Com, 29 new articles and archive additions were published, along with the 14th and 15th Post War Cards Newsletters. I’ve linked all the new material below.
