$20 Collector Club open for membership

[Beastmode]

I'm accused of being a charter member in the $20 Collector club. Please join me so that one day we will have the respect of collectors who buy big-boy cards for thousands of dollars and think they are of higher character/integrity than us.

Price of membership is to identify the best valued card for $20:

1971 topps PSA 6 Steve Garvey

[bnorth]

I am definitely in the $20 club.

For me the best $20 card is a raw mint 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken F Face error. Has to be the most well known card in the hobby plus it says F*CK FACE on it.

[sterlingfox]

Count me in as your typical "$20 collector". I enjoy the hobby on the low end and am perfectly happy with my collection.

I very rarely spend over $200 on a single card.

Here is a recent $20 pickup of mine.

[nat]

Count me in! I'm still trying to decide what to spend the $140 on that I stashed away for the centerpiece of my collection. As it is, none of my cards break three digits.

Here's a recent pickup. Chuck Klein, $12.

[Shoebox]

This is my kind of club.



Nice Hack!

[KMayUSA6060]

I'm at work and am unable to post pictures of either card, but I wanted to stamp my membership ASAP, as this is my kind of club!

My qualifying entries that I couldn't decide between...

1960 Fleer Ted Williams PSA 3

1947 Bond Bread Bobby Doerr RAW


I didn't choose the $20 Collector life... The $20 Collector life chose me.

I have an $18 bid pending right now at Mile High. I would tell you what it is but I can't out my winning auction. Cool card.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

My $20 bargain bin is the hardest thing to keep stocked. It has contained 60's Mantles, Walter Payton and Joe Montana rookies and dozens of tobacco cards. Maybe I need to start a $20 dealer club! You guys are the bread and butter of the hobby, not the $20,000 guys.

[Exhibitman]

I'm in

[steve B]

Can I count stuff bought years ago?



Counting the grading fees I think I'm right at $20 for the pair.

Maybe a little bonus or two?





The Lombardi was probably under a dollar. certainly no more then $2

Nice!

I picked these up for $20 back in the summer from a local card shop who strictly deals in hockey. Do the exchange rate thing, and these were less than $15 American.

[Rookiemonster]

You killed it irv ! Well done !

[nat]

Not worth it; you had to get a Don Mossi card. Lord is that man ugly.

[spaidly]

Count me in!

[yanksfan09]

I lucked into this Grover years go on ebay. I think it was an auction if I remember right for like 10 bucks plus probably near 10 bucks shipping (I think it came from Canada). No one else bid!

[Bill77]

Just a few cards I picked up for under $20.00.

[mattsey9]

Proud member of the club.

I lucked out, there is no doubt about it, RM. When I went into the shop looking for supplies, I just happened to ask the owner if he had any BB.
He grabbed a box that a guy traded for some low value hockey cards and the owner said to me, I am not sure why I did this?

I went through them, grabbed the cards that were in decent shape or knew the players and asked him how much? He started at $40, we went back and forth until he came to $20.

My only regret, and although I would have paid more, is I didn't grab them all.

I went back 2-3 days later but they were gone. The remaining cards were mostly "team" cards, with a few other rough players thrown in.

[brianp-beme]

This one qualifies. If I do decide to sell it sometime down the road, do you guys think that I should divulge that some restoration work has been done to the card?

Hey if a grading company can't spot the improvement it's all good.

The $2 club will commence once silver-spoon over on other thread insults them.

[steve B]

Oh so close! The graded T206s I posted were $3 each. Of course that was ummmm........."some" time ago.

Keep going and I'll have to scan the 48 Bowman football I trash picked.

That's great Scott. How true. You setting up at the national?

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

still debating, Chicago is a haul for me but a bunch of dealers go in on a truck to haul their stuff at a good rate.

Don't worry about the restoration work that has been done. What you should be doing immediately is getting that card in a PSA slab! I heard it somewhere, not sure where, that cards sell for more in a PSA slab.

[LuckyLarry]

Can I hang out with you $20 guys?

Found in the dollar box yesterday

Thanks - purchased it about 6 or 7 years ago. Have always wanted to crack and resubmit, but just never got around to it
