I hope your son will be smart enough to NOT do that!
Anyways, let me tell you guys my Mays story. When I started getting into baseball - I'm Canadian and hockey is my first love - I decided to do some online research. I came across "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players" list by The Sporting News and I was surprised to see Mays in second place (just behind Ruth). I never knew he was THAT good! Heck, Mantle sat in seventeenth! I always thought that Mantle was the best of the best. I mean, wasn't that why his cards were so damn expensive? But nope, I had it all wrong.
So, I decided to look up some Mays rookies on eBay, and again, I was surprised how cheap they were considering how high he ranked as a player. I eventually made a deal on the BST section over here. I found an old thread, like all the way on page number 5, and the guy told me that his PSA-graded Mays rookie was still available. His price was pretty fair, and so this means that all of you folks on here weren't willing to pay it!
We made the deal and I still have the card today. It's worth double now - SAY HEY!
