If so I’m a buyer (seriously). Maybe they’re down in totality, but via HA, an SGC 3 sold for $13.2K on 10/26/24 up from $12.6K on 11/19/22; and in SGC 5: $24K on 5/18/24 up from $16.2K on 9/30/22 (excluding perhaps an outlier COVID hyped buy up on 5/13/23 at $31.2K.

There were some mega sales by ML and as I recall the next sales after that dropped significantly. I think there is a thread on the M116 Wagner I started some months ago.

I have seen that when people have held and swung my Clemente bat.
You let people swing them?

Will you be my friend? please!...

Half the fun of owning such bats is sharing them. I do require that cotton gloves are worn but yes I do allow people to handle them.

Most definitely here to stay. Can't count the number of times over just the last 6 years that I have been invested in bitcoin that it has been "declared dead".

Until the whole internet goes 'poof'. So just when you need an alternate currency to government paper with our social structure crumbling, your Bitcoin 0's and 1's will have disappeared into the ether.

Once they've all been mined, then who maintains the blockchain?

51 Bowman Mays
54 Topps Aaron
48 Jackie

I'm going to break the rules and say that I would buy two cards. OP said they want a nice 55 Koufax. I think a PSA/SGC 4 can be had for $1,500. I'd pair that with a Jackie Robinson. 48 Leaf, 49 Bowman or a 52 Topps. No preference. They're all lovely.

1947 Jackie Robinson Bond Bread Portrait is one I believe has lots of room to run.

I would also go the multiple card route. A few of my picks would be:

1952 Topps Mathews
1953 Topps Mantle (passed on a clean, well centered PSA 3 about 9-10 years ago for $900, ouch)
1968 Topps Nolan Ryan, even a signed copy. I think Nolan is someone that has and will continue to transcend generations making it a strong move going forward.

Was a card ever chosen and purchased?
