Experiment: Post a card here you are wiling to sell for $500
 

It promises to be a long, slow, hot (at least in the Northeast and maybe elsewhere) holiday weekend, so I thought I'd try something here. Leon might ban it or say it should be in BST but since it covers the entire era of vintage it can't be relegated to one type of period. So I will go ahead and if it gets bounced, no big deal.

My idea is that anyone is free in this thread to post image and description (if you wish) of a card--major or obscure--you are wiling sell for for exactly $500 (plus shipping). Of course it is best if it seems like a very fair value, and doesn't come off as a card you are trying to dump at maybe an inflated price--enough of that at eBay. Anyway, what the hell. But only ONE card posted per person, unless you sell one, then you can offer another. UPDATE: After three days, I am now allowing you to post a second card even if the first did not yet sell. But two will be maximum. Choose well.

I will start off with this, and have fun. SOLD SOLD

Great thread idea.
Leave it here LL.
This should be good.

pricing error

There will be a long list of cards that market price is $400-$450 that people will list here for $500


a thread called...give us your best deal on a card for $500....maybe better..

This could be a fun thread. Thanks for starting it Greg. Since I am currently more avidly buying and selling post war rookie HOF'ers (to gear up for at least 2 local shows I will be setting up at each month from here on) here is a card I have for sale.
I think it's important to have what interests your audience. Since I can't see me doing the brand new cards this is the best I can do for the local shows. And, truth be known, it's the roots of me getting back into the hobby anyway. I started back into it doing rookie card HOF'ers....

Without further ado, here is one I would sell for 500 plus whatever shipping/insurance you want....

I'll take the Koufax.

LMAO.....you got it Sean....you know a fair deal when you see one!!

Sold
 

Don't believe card has been altered but does have crease and slight paper loss

This guy can be yours for a $500 dollar bill

Already have a sale pending on my Walsh that started the thread. So may post another. Remember, only one active at a time. I see Leon sold the Koufax so we have two sales already.

Nice!

Wish I had of seen that one sooner!! :eek:

Awesome thread. Awesome idea...
I will be monitoring closely...


GREAT Koufax.. And a great deal on it

As long as this stays copacetic it stays. :) If it gets out of control (think Rocky Horror) then we deal with it. One thing I should mention is to BE CAREFUL. After I posted that I sold the Koufax to Sean in the thread I checked and had a PM from another member 20 minutes earlier, saying he would take it. So he will get it if he wants it and Sean will still take it if he doesn't. Thanks Sean....I messed up. So please check emails and PMs before saying something is sold to someone. Or you will be crawfishin' like I did. :) And if it's a fair deal it looks like it could sell....Also, please keep the scan sizes down to below a size that is smaller than my 24" LCD dislplay.

Leon, since you sold one you can post another.

Great idea for a thread!

My $500 offering...

According to rules I set at start, if you sell one you post another, so here's my second. Lou Fiene, t206, PSA 7 Piedmont. http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1464400833 SOLD SOLD That's 2 for me, have to see if can offer another....

I'll take the Fiene.

Sean!
 

Looks like Sean likes the thread. Couple of great pickups there!

I have been trying to figure out a price on my "out of body" Titus before I listed it. $500 was the number I was thinking about already so here he is.

Ditto...that Koufax was a good deal.

This quote here should be repeated. I think some missed it.

I don't think anything but really good deals are going to sell, just like usual. If it's not selling for 500 somewhere else it probably won't sell here.

We should do something similar on the memorabilia side

Love the Stan the Man.

Collector's Grade Cobb

Nice 1923 w515 Ruth
 

Don't see why it didn't get # grade. Nice straight cut on it along line. clean back, 500 shipped (to US). (SOLD)

Sorry it's not pre-war, and sorry the scan is awful. I can't seem to remove the glare over his face/hat. Pretty well centered and decent corners with just a little bit of toning/staining? on the upper right border. Can provide better pics but not until Monday night if interested. $500 dlvd.

lol.

Leon should get a cut of every sale in this thread.

I wanted to join in on fun
 

I know it's not prewar; I'm looking but in the meantime I wanted to join the fun. I'm sure there's not much love for GAI,{although if you know their history these cards were graded by Mike Baker of PSA at Clev Nat'l } and especially in football either; I figured I'd offer the pair 500 shipped. Paypal F/family only. If anyone knows how to copy images I could use help; all images are stored locally on my computer. Please edit post and delete ebay links

Any better?

T206 Lajoie Bat
 

yes, peter, MUCH better...
I'll take it!

Lajoie is sold.

Where is the 500.00 out of this world Red Border when you need/want it haha?

Yeah, and was hoping for some obscure issues with hard to judge value to take a flyer on.

Post your Gehrig DiMaggio exhibit and I will buy it.:D

I am just happy if it doesn't jump the shark!~!

I might post another card later.....so far so good though....

This is a really fun thread! I'm one of those folks who has never spent $500 on a single card, but there are definitely cards I'd do that for. So I'm watching this thread with interest...

Morrie, give us a clue... :)

I could start a $1000 thread if Leon approved--might be fun as people more tempted to pick up fast grand by offering card at a bargain rate of one-of-a-kind whose value is hard to judge....

.

I'm 387 cards into a t206 set I've been building over the past 20+ years, and my wife's 1940 PB set isn't going to finish itself (but I'm not sure whether $500 is ballpark on anything for the grade she collects). ;)

Best thread in a long time!

I would take Chance and Walsh

I am cool with it.
I don't think we should get too carried away with too many different threads but another could be handled if you want to.

And to all members, Remember it is always caveat emptor and you are at your own financial peril where the board is concerned. (as is usual) There are no safeguards on the board so make sure you vet out your trading partner. Happy collecting..

Experiment: Post a card here you are wiling to sell for $500
 

The main board might need to be renamed soon to include $500 offerings and '52 Mantles. :D

N184 O'Neil- SOLD

I'll post my contribution. 1876 Fred Andrus CDV used in the composite for the 1876 White Stockings (not included just for reference). J.K. Stevens Studio. Shipping/Insurance extra.

Note: I have started a similar thread for $1000 cards. And that's as far as it goes!

Since no one else seems to have the guts to say it, I will.:eek:

Shouldn't these threads be in the B/S/T section of the forum?:D

Instigator.

,

A $100 thread might be interesting.

As I said when I launched this--can't seem to do it in BST because this covers all cards and eras....

Agreed one more for $100 would be awesome, there will be constant action I would bet.

Jimmy Archer Signed M101-2
 

Possibly the boldest and most beautiful of all of the Steen signed M101-2's. Just a stunning autograph. The rifle armed catcher died in 1958.

Cant wait until the $100 experiment starts.

Note: Leon is not allowing the $100 experiment--for now. He probably wants to see if everyone plays nice here, first. It seems to be going well, so far, and check the traffic numbers....

And here tomorrow, maybe, as thread launcher, I will "rule" that anyone who has already posted one item that has not sold will now be allowed to post a second....

Would love to see the $100 thread! The wife gave me the 'eye' when she saw me looking at the $500 thread!
