Dear Dennis


The chances of acquiring an R 300 Miller of Ivy Andrews which has
not been cancelled for less than 1000 are about the same as asking
for PSA 8 Wagner for $10,000

There are only two known uncanceled examples extant. One graded
by each of the major grading services. Highest grade example is
an SGC 10 (poor condition)

We estimate that a better condition non-cancelled example would sell
well in excess of $15,000

Perhaps, you should undertake extensive research before posting
to acquire the impossible.

While we tend to agree with your summation we feel strongly this was one of the most hypocritical posts we have ever seen on this board (your post). Many things on your want list are pipe dreams that don't exist in the universe. At least the original poster is looking for something that actually exists. Your group would do good to deflate a little bit...Your group could contribute so much and we acknowledge ya'll have a vast wealth of knowledge of the hobby. It's a shame that it's always put into a back corner due to your extraordinary ramblings.....regards

I apologize if the humor in my original post was not so obvious...I thought that it was . I am fully aware of the value of the uncanceled version as I have actually seen one in person. The one that I saw in person actually belonged the the wife of Ivy Andrews. This was in 1990 (a few years before she passed away). She was an extremely nice woman who had a wonderful collection of 1930's yankee items that I have never seen since. I only wonder where her card is now (since there are maybe 3 or so uncanceled samples in existence).

At the time (1990), my uncle who owned the sporting goods store that she was displaying her collection in estimated the value of the card at $20,000. Unfortunately, I didn't appreciate the true value and rarity of the card since i was more interested in the new upper deck and leaf cards.

Mrs. Andrews did comment to my family how much of a gentleman she considered me to be (I was 15) and she gave me a yankees hat. I still have the hat and value it greatly. Thanks!

ps.

Bruce, you might have just killed my chances of getting an uncanceled version of this card for $1000! But, I forgive you....

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. We feel the purpose of the Board
is to educate and when someone indicates they want to acquire a card
which has a value of $25,000 + for $1000 we respond accordingly.

As for America's Toughest Want List... there is not a single item even
in the conditions indicated that does not exist.

We will continue to pursue the best grade available for each and every
card.

In fact, from our advertising on Network 54 and the postings on BST
we have obtain 22 cards since January 1, 2008. At least 6 were the best
known grade...and in three cases we had them graded and they obtained
record high grades. Thank you for your consideration in this manner.

Brucies...

What your “group” continually fail to comprehend - regardless of your uncontested real or imaginary collection – is that this specific thread is about someone else and their collecting pursuit - not you, your group, your want list, your acquisitions, etc……

The only thing that could have improved that velvet hammering would have been a properly used "Whilst".

We don't care what the hell you think the purpose of the board is. The purpose of the BST is to Buy/Sell/Trade and NOT have commentary. If your group does it again this group will delete your post. The main forum is for information and learning...the BST not so much. If you would like to comment further please email me...If you comment anymore in this thread it will go poof.....best regards

We don't know about the rest of you but whilst we perused this paragraph we were certainly most impressed.

This is a fun read.

Bruce- perhaps if you feel the need to discuss the rarity of the Ivy Andrews you should just start a thread on the main board, but certainly not on somebody else's BST post.

That would be like me responding to one of your America's Toughest Want List posts by saying: "whatever Bruce is willing to pay, I'll go 10% higher." That is interfering with your right to do business. Maybe the poster had some vague hope of getting a good deal on one, but with your response he no longer can. Admittedly he wasn't going to find one, but that's not for me or anyone else to decide.
