Yes I know....just been burned bad in the past I was trying to protect myself. I have not lied about anything else except that I told Leon in private he understood. |
This certainly is entertaining (actually bizarre). I can't wait for the next episode!
|
Have none of you ever changed your mind on a purchase at the last minute I do not think this is bizarre or crazy. I am collecting cards that are rare and the Dunlop fits that description to the tea!!! The Mantle was a dream card but not what I collect in terms of rare cards....rarity comes first for me then a dream card.
I mean people do it all the time with other things in their lives like hey what a beautiful women I must have her in my life then 2 days later ah no she is not for me....and other times it last a life time with a women. I think divorce cost way more than a few bad choices when changing ones mind on another card one wants versus another card. |
I hope everyone is enjoying the carnival. Wonder how long it's in town?
|
Like Jesus said may the 1st one to cast a stone be a person who has never made a error/sin in his life....and the WHOLE crowd just stood there and no one came forward to cast a stone at the so called ''sinner''.
I am far from been perfect guys!!! |

A card like that, it's not necessarily on price. My Mantle signed rookie and Gehrig signed DeLong were the most I've ever spent on a card, and I never thought I would have spent that much on a card ever. The point is, I'm happy, regardless of price. And we can all see that you are happy as well, and price isn't too big of a concern. Don't really ever worry about over paying if it's something you're truly going to enjoy, like what I did. I don't ever plan on getting rid of my cards, and if I got offered $30k for the pair, I'd say no because I enjoy them too much. Best of Luck, Brent |

Good point sir!!! I would not sell the Dunlop either it is here to stay in my collection for a long long while. |
Correcting a few misconceptions
I love it when baseball card collectors talk football ;-) However, a couple of things that Zone91 were told are not true.
1) True football experts now put the estimate for the number of Dunlop cards to be between 20 - 30. It's still pretty rare but isn't even close to the rarest football card that exists. There are 14-15 graded Dunlop's between PSA and SGC. The others aren't graded. Due to the press around some recent findings of this card, others have popped up in the past year. 2) At least 4-5 Dunlop's have been sold on the public market during the past year so this card does come up for auction more frequently than you have been told. There have been years, however, where it did not appear in an auction so it's definitely not a given that you can find one if you want one. I've been offered three of them in the past year so they are definitely out there, though. The question as to whether the Dunlop card is the Holy Grail of football cards hugely depends upon your perspective. Some serious collectors prefer a high grade National Chicle Nagurski to the Dunlop simply because Nagurski was a pro star whereas Dunlop was barely a starter on his college team and unknown to the general population. His claim to fame is due to a printing error that left his name off the card. This is probably why the population of this card is lower than the other cards in the N302 Mayo set. Others consider star cards with lower population to be the big dogs of the hobby. As examples, I believe there are only two Star Player Candy Red Grange cards and two Rogers Peet Ken Strong cards known to exist. I personally love the Dunlop card and wouldn't trade it for any of the others. jeff |

Thanks I am fine if there are 20 -30 known still a very rare card compared to say the Wagner or some other expensive cards. |
Leon
Will I be banned I followed you rule of 2 topics maximum per day? |
Adrian- must you comment on every single post that refers to you, no matter how small? Can't you just let a few of them pass without posting? That's the issue, that this board has become Adrian's dog and pony show. Just take a break once and a while, and everything will be fine.

Wow. Just read this thread while researching the Dunlop card (a 1.5 went unsold on ebay with an 11k min bid at auction). i have to think Adrian has regretted this decision.

Nothing says Net54 better than Adrian, the crown jewel of former Board Members.:D

What's a football and how come they made cards of these things ?

It's a senseless shame. This is the reason that we play sports. It allows us to take out our agressions on the playing field. Can you imagine Barry Bonds with a gun, or Wilt Chamberlain with a gun. Thank God for sports.

But how about Jesse Owens at Hitler's Olympic games. Wasn't he in fact showing the master race, that blacks could compete. If I'm totally off-base let me know. Without doubt the killings were a tragedy, but think of what this world would be like without the Olympics every four years. Peter |
All the Armpit collectors vote for the Bruces.........
And they have made 3 deals whilst the rest of us were bickering....... But..........RIP.......... |

Sports are an outlet for normal competitiveness. And the Olympics do draw people from different countries together. Americans cheering for Olga Korbut going through her gymnastic routines, for instance, has a real subliminal effect in making people realize that while governments sometimes have idiot leaders, people from different nations are generally very much like us. I've always felt that in Europe in 1944, let's say, the average American and average German soldiers didn't hate each other at all... they probably both hated Hitler for being put in the ridiculous position of having to try to kill each other to survive. Sports wouldn't be so universally popular if they didn't serve some real purpose. Part of that purpose is directing things like aggression, physical release of adrenaline, community or national pride and identification, the desire to be victorious (even if our actual role is to sit on a couch with a bag of Doritos cheering for our team,) into contests that are governed by rules, and don't involve bloodshed (boxing aside.) Here in Minnesota, the Sioux Indians (in the south) used to send raiding parties against the Chippewa Indians (in the north) with regularity. Now, we send the Vikings over to Wisconsin and let them bring us glory by beating the Packers. |
Yeah if I didn't have sports teams to release my aggression vicariously I would be out there committing violent acts.
|
This is just a hunch but maybe the Sioux and Chippewa ceased fighting each other because we killed both of them and took their land, then relegated them each to reserves that we didn't want.
