Trying, and failing to keep in touch with reality

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

As the Ol'Perfesser once said ".... you could look it up", but this week an eBay auction closed for a Ty Cobb CJ at $3000. The condition of this card as stated by a major grading company was "rejected, altered".

Twas not so long ago that this condition card was not desireable. I guess that I need to upgrade my understanding.

Similarly, a vg/ex UJ Klein closed above $600. At the onset, I had thoughts of bidding, but as the price passed $300. those thoughts dwindled. At the close there was a shootout among three bidders which resulted in the hammer blow cited above. Now, it was my understanding that Leader Novelty cards demanded a higher price tag than the Uncle Jacks, and that Leader cards typically sold around $300.

What is the story here? Apparently I have missed a few episodes of this soap opera.
