I am going to continue enjoying this hobby that is for sure!!! Thanks for ALL the positive comments and even the negative ones at least we are talking about cards are we not!!!
You guys are ABSOLUTELY right our favorite card does NOT have to be our most expensive one.....that is very very true!!! Personally I prefer the Old Judge (MUCH more history than modern cards) cards and the T206 cards over post war cards....any day of the week!!!
I always wanted a 1914 Baltimore news Babe Ruth or 52 Topps Mantle ''rookie'' since I was much younger BUT I can't afford the Ruth so I purchased the Mantle it is as simple as that. Sold some coins I owned and transferred the funds towards cards. |
Adrian- I want to be clear, even though I checked up on one thing, I still believe you and think you are an asset to the board. It's just that the seller of some of those cards happens to be someone I am very hobby-friendly with. So I called him and we spoke for a while. Tony is one of my favorite guys to hang out with at the National, and we do so every year. In that respect, You also should understand that a lot of us go back decades with other board members and are very good and close friends. Some people have said we are a clique, which is sort of true and not a bad thing. We watch out for, and care about, each other. We (definitely me) have all overpaid for cards at one time or another. It comes with the territory. I will echo other sentiments though. You might consider taking your time in doing stuff. You don't have to, and it's your money, so bless you for being in the hobby and buying cards. Most of us have seen collectors burn out quickly by moving too fast. We don't want that to happen to you. But hey, if that is what you want to do, go for it. I have stuck up for you from day one and am still here for you. Please drink a bit less caffeine.
It's all good my friend.
