You spent over $5k on a photo. You clearly have an interest in photos. Brock doesn't think theyre all that special and that's an indirect affront to photo collectors. So...
You challenge him by looking for some idea of what he thinks would be worth the kind of money in question. Thankfully he didn't take the bait. As a lover of Type I's I couldn't care less if someone thinks photos aren't worth the money. |

If an item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, then the Mantle photo is worth tens of thousands of dollars. At least 2 people think so, or it wouldn't have been bid up to that. If you or I are not willing to pay that much for it, that's fine, but it doesn't make the photo "worth" any less.
There's value as in "it's worth this much to me," and then there's consensus opinion of value (which seems to be the point of the original poll). In this case, whatever the range on the consensus opinion would be, clearly it's much more than $50. Last edited by thecatspajamas; 05-29-2012 at 07:33 PM. |

If the photo is original and the only known example, I agree it is a significant baseball photo.

Good point. Hasn't it been established that its not the only known example?

Actually it's the only known one at this time.

Ben got a good deal on his Ruth photo from SCP. It's an iconic photo that was used on a number of cards such as the 27 Honey Boy. Iconic photos or photos from famous photographers like Conlon, Thompson, Oeyen, etc will bring top dollar. Same thing for photos used on cards as collectors like companion pieces. I am not surprised by the price of this photo b/c I always questioned the price of the 52 Topps Mantle b/c it's not that scarce. PSA has graded over a thousand of them and yet the price is still so high. If you think about it, this might be the highest price card relative to it's scarcity (or non-scarcity). (86 Jordan probably wins tho.) Now the Type I photo is truly rare. So where does that put the price? Right where it's going in Legendary.

And I thought there was only this kind of angered debating style and profane behavior on the signature side.
If you have the means and you like something, spend away. It's nobodies business how people should spend their money and Ben (who is wrong, photos are lame and Phil just said I'm getting a good old Maryland lecture for typing that) likes it enough to start a thread that should be respected. It's a historic if one of a kind. Faberge Egges, artwork, upside down stamps, new cars, cardboard, outdoor pizza oven, whatever. Enjoy collecting. DanC P.S: I think you should arm wrestle him at the dinner.

However, if you're wandering why I got excited at the thought of you meeting up with Ben at the National? I got it from your exchange with him as I cut and pasted below. Ben wasn't choosing you off, he was simply stating that many people talk a whole lot of crap on a message board, but it takes a real man to say it face to face, with no keyboards getting in the way. And I happen to feel the same exact way, as Ben will be able to confirm. Because a couple years ago, Ben and I did have a falling out, and we said things to each other that no man had ever said to either of us before. Which, come to think of it, is probably why we were able to work our way through it and now our friendship is one of mutual respect and honesty. But my guess Jake, is you're not real familiar with those words now, are ya? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: Originally Posted by Ladder7 all that would be left is a few knuckleheads that think cussing someone out on the internet makes them look like a hardass, when we all know it's just another way of seeking attention.

Will do. Just want to refresh everyone's memory that the above comments ALL were provoked by Jake's classless and disgusting personal attack on fellow board member Scott Garner. If Jake would have sent along a PM to Scott he could have achieved much more than he did by acting, no make that 'playing' the school yard bully and trashing Scott for all of net54 to see for no good reason. And you wonder why you keep getting backlash?! Like I said... you are some piece of work... |
