This thread has been fantastic. I posed the same prompt across Blowout, Twitter, and Reddit to see how each community would react. All had positive reactions with some bad apples, but what do you expect...
I'd say that the Net54 community has blown me away the most with the feedback and encouragement. Appreciate all of you :) |

Yeah Ben, and great point about even different cities. The sales/use tax laws vary by state. Five have none, the remaining 45 do, and then among the 45 that do some also have additional county/local sales taxes that get added on top. In Ohio where I'm at the sales tax rates vary by county. The state itself has a flat 5.75% sales tax rate across the entire state, and then the local/county authorities tack on what they can. Cuyahoga County, which encompasses Cleveland, has the highest combined rate in the state at 8.0%. If you live in a state like that, if possible, you could try to set up a P.O. Box or other address you get you mail delivered to in say the next county over that has a lower sales tax rate. Would definitely work if buying off Ebay as they charge sales tax based on the mailing address. But doing so would technically not be legit, and also the amount of savings would be nominal, at best, and likely eaten up by the cost of renting the P.O. or other mailbox, along with the gas and other related costs and additional time spent from having to drive a ways to pick up your mail. Probably more trouble than it is worth doing. Now if you have a close relative or really good friend that lived in that next county over.................... |

Like I said to someone last month at the Net54 meetup in Dulles, "Sometimes you just gotta say WTF" and do it.

That's a no brainer, will just keep appreciating. Nice grab.

Wow, very impressive! Congrats!

Be bold on your purchase but make sure it is a mainstream card. Rarities often prove to be illiquid when selling.

That's a great one!
As for the OP, which I was late to read: Vintage Baseball Cards I Have Regretted Not Buying When Affordable These were right there for the taking, and I had the money, but I passed, and now I can't afford them or it would put a real financial hurt on me to get a decent one: 1925 Exhibit Gehrig T206 Cobb green portrait T206 Plank Babe Ruth rookie Zeenuts Joe DiMaggio 1957 Tip Top Spahn 1948 Leaf Robinson, Paige 1952 Topps Mantle 1957 Topps Bill Russell 1965 Topps Joe Namath 1933 Goudey Ruths 1934 Goudey portrait Gehrig 1939 Play Ball Williams 1949 Bowman Paige, Robinson, Snider, Campanella, Doby 1952 Topps Mays, Robinson, Mathews Vintage Baseball Cards I Have Regretted Buying: ---0--- |
Congrats on a great pickup, Don!
When I read the initial post, I knew you were already considering a really important aspect: >>> "It doesn’t impact my ability to pay for any current or future bills." Now that you have the card in hand, I'm sure you're happy to have it as a collection cornerstone. Cheers, Steve |
It’s all relative. I have some low grade E121-120 Ruth cards that I bought maybe 15 years ago for $500 and cards in the same condition are listed at $8000 to $10000 now on eBay. No way would I have ever thought these cards would be worth that kind of money. If it is something more mainstream like the Ruth cards, it will probably go up in value so consider it an investment.

Very nice. Congrats!!
