Posted By: <b>Richard</b><p>If rookiemania establishes it as a $500 card, then it no longer is a $50 card. <br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>It will be a $50 card in a few weeks after all the rookie chasers have theirs.

Posted By: <b>Bob S</b><p>Hello, again, folks.<br /><br />The seller of this card is Scott Gaynor (I suspect many here know him).<br /><br />His items consistently bring a lasrge premium. This man is the best (and no, it's not me...LOL)<br /><br />Bob S

Posted By: <b>Richard</b><p>I think that there are more rookie chasers than there are 1920's rookie cards readily available. <br /><br />And I think Rick's post may have shown that the rookie cards get the attention.

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>wouldn't you consider his w519 or e121 more a rookie "card"? maybe the exhibit predates the e121 but the 519 is earlier.i think?

Posted By: <b>Kevin Cummings</b><p>No argument here that Scott's offerings and reputation often influence the the bidding in an upward fashion, but I think this is simply the classic case of two bidders aggressively pursuing an item they both wanted.<br /><br />I know the underbidder (a very nice older gentleman) and he collects primarily graded material and is not shy about paying over book (sometimes <b><u>way</u></b> over) to get what he wants. He lost out here to a more determined bidder, but that doesn't happen often.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>I think the buyer got a steal.<br /><br />I think all vintage rookie cards are worth $5,000.<br /><br /><img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>In most instances there are more rookie collectors than there are cards of a particular rookie. This however is NOT one of those instances. I have collected Exhibits for some time, and if we were talking about a card in the 1923-24 set, that saying would be true. The 1921 Exhibit set is anything but rare. If one has a little money, they can put the set together pretty easily with only a little patience. It is far and away the easiest 20's Exhibit set to put together. Wait a week or two and there will be another one on ebay.<br />-Rhett
