A high grade Cobb is worth far more, and one of the top 3 Demmitts is my main collecting goal. Since neither one is realy attainable, it was a joke that I think only I got. As far as trading it before it got in my hands, that was a subtle reference to the previous "flip that wasn't a flip" that I did on eBay. Plank is sticking with me unless a once in a lifetime opportunity arises.

JP- first of all it is a very cool card just the way it is, with full disclosure and being in an AUT holder. Also, you don't owe anyone, including me, an explanation but it's always nice to hear thoughts on strategies for collecting, flipping, trading etc. All of that being said even this last statement you gave kind of goes in about 5 different directions. I might politely suggest a tad bit more focus to enhance your collecting enjoyment. Historically the folks that are the least focused (read - all over the place with high end cards etc...) tend to crash and burn the quickest. This is just an observation and certainly might not be the way you are going. Good luck with whatever you decide and thanks for participating and sharing on the board. All collecting is good collecting in my eyes!!
