I thought I was the only one who liked a nice salt bagel. It's like having the best part of a giant pretzel with a little more substance. Damn, now I want one!

What's a bagel?

I threw away the vast majority, and I'm talking north of 95%, of my collection of baseball cards ranging from '87 to '93. I hope my decision to do this makes all of you money when you one day decide to retire and sell off your collection.

I run into crates of late eighties and early nineties cards on sale at flea markets on a regular basis. It amazes me that Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Upper Deck and Score were able to flood the market so completely that an entire generation of baseball cards are worth so little.

The fact that everyone's mom knew not to throw these cards away didn't help either. If we toss 95% of them in a landfill the other 5% might have some vslue.

It's a thing sort of like a stale donut, but you have to add your own frosting or filling. Unless you get one from a really good shop where it's a donut shaped loaf of bread that you can split in half flatwise, toast it, and add a whole bunch of tasty stuff. There's actually fewer options for stuff to put on it if the shop is REALLY for real. (Do NOT order a roast beef and cheese or it's the street without a bagel for you! )

Gregg Jefferies actually had a pretty good career as well.....

Seriously guys I do have some of those super rare 89 Topps Mark Lewis cards. He is such an amazing prospect the card back shows his High School batting record. He hit .545 and is the real deal.

Ok on a serious note he is the only player that I remember that had his complete High School batting record on the back of a card. Anybody know of any others?

May I know the asking price of the card? May I also know if the card would have been bought by someone else in that time that is was reserved?

I am curious to know if 10 dollars was a large percentage of the price.

I understand the principal of not being wishy washy about your decisions and I abide by that myself, but at the same time I am the type of person that probably would never call someone out for not being able to afford something(large or small) or changing their mind about a deal before money changes hands.

I just recently sold a truck and I had lots of people(10 to 15) tell me they wanted the truck sight unseen and they would come on Saturday to pick it up. I simply replied "First come first serve. It will be for sale until it is sold". Needless to say none of them showed up, except 1 guy who did buy it(without starting it none the less). I wasn't mad or upset at any one of those people that didn't come.

Doesn't that eliminate any downside to having someone "reserve" a card on good faith? Not to bash any seller that does this, but if you change your selling practice, doesn't that eliminate any agnst from your end of a botched deal?

You simply haven't sold it yet, no matter what anyone says and you have no reason to turn anyone else away from a potential sale.

I remember being similarly enthralled by the college stats on the back of the Monty Farriss card from the same series.

I think I had a couple 100 count lots that eventually made the dumpster during one move or another.

30 HR's and 114 RBI's in 242 AB's at Oklahoma State his junior season.

Gang this is a FACTORY set! For those of you who bought in quantity - you are gonna want to buy more. 13000 cards! The book on that is thirteen THOUSAND dollars! Minimum! Kenny, are these guaranteed to go up like the Jordan Mr. June?!
