Baseball cards

He actually threw that one in for free. It displays well, but has a slight crease in the upper left corner that you can't really see unless you look hard.

These guys were 50¢ each.

Joel Youngblood, there is a name that sticks out, he made history by getting a hit off of two hall of famers...

*edit* I did not look on I92 trivia page to see if that had been mentioned, TLDR

Just picked up this beauty.

It’s worth what I paid. No idea on book value, I don’t deal with those numbers. 

 eBay auction went for $45.

Lol, I get that. Just wondering

3 hours left on this PSA 7 Mantle RC. Currently at $25k. What do you think it ends at? I'm going to say $195k.

I prefer the topps 

What did it go for?

Price hasn't budged in 2 hours. Meanwhile a Chipper Jones RC went for $100k+ a few weeks ago. It was a PSA 10, but this PSA 7 is much more impressive.

I bet it jumps up pretty quick towards the end.

How much money would you have to have to be comfortable dropping $100k+ on a baseball card? 

I don't even know if I can answer that question.  How many cars and houses would I have before I got around to spending $1M on a handful of baseball cards?  I'm thinking over $100M.

If I had $10m cash I'd consider dropping $100k on the right card.

Just under $30k. I was way off.

Well, maybe the huge collectors of the 1950-2000 guys all have the Mantle cards and new rich guys of this century aren’t enamored by the great Mantle?

Which is more sought after, 51' Bowman or 52' Topps?

The 52 Topps is THE card.

51 Bowman is the first card but I hate when cards are left to right and not top to bottom.

Depends on the collector/buyer. 52 topps for me by a decent amount

Bidding on some graded stuff tonight that I probably won’t win. A Gwynn Topps RC (PSA 7.5),  a Larkin Topps RC (PSA 10), and a Griffey Topps RC (PSA 9).

What’s Gwynn rookie at? Mine is probably only about a 5.5

I was just outbid at $30.xx

Ended at $33.55.
