I apologize in advance for repeating my old chestnut
but somewhat appropriate for this discussion:
buyer sees a Bob Shawkey card on a dealer's table, commonly valued at $100, but with no price and asks: "how much is this card?"
dealer: "$10,000."
buyer: "that is outrageous, this card is worth about a hundred bucks.
why are you asking me ten thousand?
dealer: "because you look like a guy who would like to brag about owning a
Bob Shawkey card worth ten thousand dollars."
Unfortunately, that guy could be me.
