Myths
 

A player's "Rookie Card" is his 1st card in a major national set.

Buying a professionally graded card guarantees you and protects you that the card has not been altered or trimmed.

If you have a problem with an item won from a major auction house, you can complain and will get a refund.

You always come out ahead by investing in the major stars, like Cobb, Ruth and Gehrig.

Grading company counts of T206's with rare backs are accurate population figures.

Dealers who have been in the hobby for a long time are trustworthy because of their experience.

Don’t forget Tattoo Orbits. PSA for years has let many dozen Dover reprint Orbits get graded.

Bruce Sutter, Jack Morris, Alan Trammell and Larry Walker say hello.

Lies, damned lies, and Novelty Cutlery postcard dates.

Looking only at the BIN prices that (unsold) cards are listed for on eBay tells you what your cards are actually worth.

When it comes to the T206 Wagner, if you happen to come across one that allegedly came from a strip or sheet and someone allegedly did a poor job of cutting it and you trim it just to make it look nicer and present it to a TPG who in their first-ever slab give it a high grade despite knowing that it was trimmed and a couple of famous people in the sports world buy it despite allegedly knowing that it has issues and everybody involved presents it to the public as the find of the century and after the fraud is discovered the card goes up in value and the TPG ends up as the most trusted entity in the hobby, that kind of thing could never happen.

This yellow/blue/green starburst
ultra sparkle terra-fractor
road jersey parallel
backwards cap variation
super duper extra ludicrous short print
rookie patch auto
numbered to 3.142857

is a good INVESTMENT

Thems is fightin' words!

This 100%. Cut with dull blades it turns out.

Come on Old Timer. Trammell is one of the best shortstops of all-time, and Walker's all-around numbers are ridiculous. The others, well, let's say I agree.

Eric do not confuse was with The number to pie but if you are going to then right it out in its entirety

Would be near mint if not for missing piece of card. Fabulous opportunity!

That's not a myth, PSA calls that a qualifier instead of accurately grading a card.:eek::D

Trammell (70.7 WAR; 44.8 peak 7 year WAR, good for 4th all-time among SS); Harold Baines (38.7 WAR; 21.7 peak 7 year WAR, 74th among right fielders).

It’s 3 and one-seventh.
Pi is a slightly different number

There was a mathematician, Ludolph van Ceulen, who spent most of his life calculating Pi to 35 digits. When he died, he had it engraved on his tombstone.

All this talk of pie is making me hungry.

Speaking of pie...

Under that logic, Nolan Ryan's 1989 Upper Deck card qualifies as his rookie card. :eek:

Larry Walker was one of the most naturally gifted players I’ve ever watched. Whether he was batting, fielding, or on the bases his instincts were just plain awesome. A career .313 hitter with 7 gold gloves? If not for several injury shortened seasons his numbers would have been phenomenal.

Some more myths about rookie cards. A rookie card can be a regional, premium or foreign card.

That Senator Russell's great granddaughter sold some of his cards.
