not so much a 'when" but at what price... I like Richard's 7K value, though
Everyone with a SC#22 does. Whatever the grade is
Prices seem to stay strong, even on low-low grades. If yours sells around that money, it´ll continue lifting the price into new heights.
best offer so far is $5K...so we can "assume" that is the floor to perceived value of the copy
This means SC#22 is at least at the same price level as AS#1.........even quite higher and if yours sells at 7k........even a lot higher..
There are over 1500 graded copies of AS#1 and 246 graded SC22, so SC22 is more scarce. 142 collectors and investors can own a AS#1 above 6.5 and only 22 collectors and investors will be able to with SC22. It's really a supply and demand issue here with SC22. As I have mention before, the Mound City copy will set a major tone for high grade SC22.
AS #1 (of course, AF #15 is a much better comparable) has been in high demand for 30+ years, SC 22 has been in high demand for two months.
high demand, yes, recently it has exploded...but, there has always been good demand for "high grade" (just not very many examples out there to create a reg. market)...
