Unbelievable Flea Market find Gehrig style.

biggmack2001 · Aug 9, 2011

I live in SoCal and was at the Santee Flea market last weekend and a gentleman attending( not me :-( ) had a once in a lifetime find and picket it up for all of $5.00. It was a 1923 Columbia University Yearbook with Lou Gehrig in it. I believe that its a $2500.00 Yearbook at least. Some guys have all the luck but I will eventually get my find. Just wanted to share.
Thanks: AJ

The Columbian?

Nice find. Where did you get your $2500 figure from, though? Don't get me wrong, it's a high dollar find.

I saw some values online. I saw one that was $2500.00 and one that was $5000.00 from 1924. Dont get me wrong. Those were estimates or asking prices. Not confirmed sales but I could find confirmed sales.

One sold online back in 2001 apparently for $1200+

So then 10 years later with a 10 percent increase in price over those years will equal the 2500

The Market has taking a down turn over the last 10 years so by that logic(10% decreas per year) the value could be around $420.00. :lol:

Cool, I might have to head out to Santee and check it out someday.

biggmack2001 · Aug 9, 2011

Sorry guys. Didnt mean to put those prices on here. Just put what I saw. It wasnt even me who has it and I have nothing to make from this. Was just letting people know about a great find.

Nice find. Typically university yearbooks are worth less than high school yearbooks due to the quantity produced. More students = more yearbooks. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a $1000 book.

awesome find! Wish I could find stuff like that. :lol:

Yeah but 88 years later, how many could be hanging around? But then I guess if you're looking at Gehrig, his HS yearbook would be even older, and that much more scarce...
