Default That $2.50 Mahovlich

Larry - I too need four 1957 Parkhursts. I try to keep my sets in clean condition and I’ll sometimes pay a premium to do so. But I’d grab a $2.50 Mahovlich like yours even at five times what you paid.

People sometimes ask me how much a card of a particular player might be worth. I reply that it depends upon the condition. For a vintage superstar rookie card, you could pay a grand or two for a blazing beauty or find a beater for $30.00. Collectors have a balancing point - would I pay $$$ for that particular card that’s nice but has a dinked corner? Or do I go for the budget-friendly creased card? How low can I go on condition, how high can I go on price?

Some cards you can’t pass up.

The rest of your cards are cool too. I’m getting close on 55, 57, and 61.
