Validity of Fl Paleo points
Outbackbob48:
Hmmm, So what can ya tell us about the other one in Overstreets, the other big red an is a cumberland type. curious minds need to know, :DBob
Trapper Rob:
Nice points
Outbackbob48:
Ed, Here is a little something that I just thought of. The Cumberland big red is a Paleo and the Newman big red is Archaic. We know the Paleo is older by a few thousand yrs. So my question is who holds the title of big red or do they both claim the title of big red. Paleo or Archaic? I guess I have been holed up to long because of deep snows, no fun trying to hike with 22" of snow cover on the ground, I sure am not going to find any type points, except on my tarp. Just a little pondering for ya on a nice winter evening. :-K Bob

I haven't seen the Cumberland Big Red, Bob, guess I'll try and look for it. But I would bet the Coral one is the big winner. Overstreet had it appraised for around 30-35 thousand dollars. I haven't heard what Carlos sold it for or what all three went for.

Big Red, the Newnan is in Overstreet's 13th edition, page 357 and according to Overstreet, " the finest Coral Newnan known, dubbed Big Red."
It is graded a G-10, $17,000- $30,000.
