The OP doesn't even collect baseball. Trying to figure out why he posted this in the first place?

I think that he didn't know what it was, and was curious about it.

So in order to discuss baseball cards you have to collect them? I did own some in the past, including a few Mantles, but sold them. I don't collect them anymore, but I still appreciate them.

Now are there any Spanish folks on here? Don't you think it would have made more sense to put "difunto" on the Gehrig card instead?

As a primary collector of Latin card and fluent Spanish speaker, the title on the cards is not offensive at all. It just means that they were retired. As opposed to active players. That's all. Some living. Some not.

Went for $2313. Really really cool card, and the condition is unreal. I was in the bidding until pretty late, but at the end of the day just couldn't justify that lofty price tag for a card that came out 26 years after he died.

LOL

"The high bidders percentage is too high stay away"

"I was in it right up to the end"


Almost the oldest auction trick there is. And it hardly ever works.

That was my attempt at board satire my friend. I've made crystal clear for years that I bid in PWCC auctions. I think lots of the gripes about them are way overblown. Nevermind redundant. Crooks everywhere.

Ah. I totally missed the gag. Sorry.

It went for $3700, dude! Did this thread play a role in that? Hmmm ... I doubt it, because if it did, then I will be starting a new one soon (when I want to sell my vintage creased up hockey cards).

You are correct. Guess my phone didn't update eBay this am.
