I believe we have all three; confusion, joking,
and bad math.
I didn't see any post where the card was offered for sale, or anywhere that he asked for offers. He just asked for opinions on if the card was worth $20 or not.
I pm'd him and told him I personally would only go $30 if it wasn't trimmed...he responded to my pm with the whole 1% of near mint value thing, to which I replied with an explanation which included 2011 SCD valuation and the fact that I like the card, but don't need it for my collection. I also wrote I expected he could get more than $30 and if it were mine, I'd offer it at $100 (depending on what I paid originally) and not be surprised if I had to go as low as $50.
Then I read his post about the $19 Gehrig.....................
I probably wouldn't even pay $30 for it now, but I am curious what Chris thought it is worth. The only other value opinion I see in this thread is from Vintagetoppsguy and I certainly understand the thought process there.
