what would you OVERPAY for right now?
 
Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p><br />Most of us are always wanting a deal. What card or cards out there right now would you OVERPAY for? For me, I'd have to think I'd throw the kitchen sink at a Darby Chocolate or Texas Tommy...although in reality I probably wouldn't have enough to even underpay for them.

I'm currently trying to spread a rumor that the N321 Levy in Scott and Leon's auction was actually a gentile, so that a few of the specialty niche collectors will lose interest.

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>I have told others what I would be willing to pay for a Cameo Pepsin Pin of Louis Sockalexis and it would easily set the record for the highest price ever paid for any pin from this set, maybe even double it. I know one changed hands last year for about half what I would pay. I just need to find out who has one of the 3-4 known copies out there so I can make them happy.<br /><br />Rhys Yeakley

Posted By: <b>Bruce Dorskind</b><p><br /><br />As Ralph Lauren noted back in 1977 (the year we began<br />collecting ultra high grade rare baseball cards)<br /><br />Quality never goes out of style.<br /><br />We do not believe that one can "overpay" for an item which<br />provides as much joy and happiness as an ultra high grade<br />rare baseball type card.<br /><br />Who needs girl friends, wives and party buddies when one<br />can obtain those very special pieces of near mint to mint<br />cardboard? They don't talk back, demand nothing more<br />than their SGC or PSA cases and only are seen when one<br />wants to see them. <br /><br />You don't have to pay for their bad habits, watch them get<br />old and/or out of shape (a PSA 9 is forever), and if you take<br />proper care, insurance costs are nominal.<br /><br />We continue to chase after the penultimate examples of Texas Tommy's,<br />N-162s, Monos and a number of others. In the interim, we can think<br />of nothing, or for that matter anyone, whose company we enjoy as<br />much as that of our ultra high grade cardboard collection<br /><br />Bruce Dorskind<br />America's Toughest Want List

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>James, I took a look at the upcoming H&S auction -lot number 848 Jimmy Foxx pin and postcard - the postcard is not from the 1940's, it is from the late 1970s and is a Jim Rowe postcard. He used Burke and Brace negatives to make postcards and he made thousands of them...you almost always see them with the name of the player in block letters on the back.

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>On rare occasion I can tend to put in a hefty bid right there on the spot. <br /><br />For example - in the REA auction, well before closing day - I put in a maximum bid. The auction ended with my winning the lot below my max bid amount. You would have to say, technically, that I overbid. (1925 Exhibit Babe Ruth PSA 5, highest ever graded) <br /><br />And on ebay, once in a blue moon I bid big early, and end up winning the item below my bid amount. Again case in point where one has overbid.<br /><br />Agree with prior post - high end, ultra rare, major HOFers are oh so nice. You know, the ones you show your non-collector friends, and even they are eyebrow raising impressed!<br /><br />steve<br /><br />
