Since collecting pre war, this card is major $$ purchase. I as looking for a nice low grade example, and by a stroke of luck, I happened to email our fearless leader Leon, asking if he knew of anyone that may have one for sale.

He had this card, and was looking to sell it. I bought it back in Jan 2009.

Great looking card in my opinion. Hopefully, I be adding some more big $$ cards from my wantlist in the near future.

This is my biggest single card buy, although I have spent more than this at once to acquire lots...

Walking in the park with my kids and Jamie (blunder) txts me and says "HOF BL460 on eBay, buy it".

Bought it without seeing card on the iPhone, took a bit of heat from the wife on the walk home

my most expensive card is a 1986 fleer Jordan rookie (yea a basketball card / my only one) its a BVG 8 with sub grades of 9-8-8-9.5

Took me about a year to find the right one, im sure it will remain my highest priced card till i get to a real nice T205 cobb, or a drum back

[bbcard1]

the Ohara to finish my T206 520 set. It is low grade, but was still a lot of card.

Barry, those are great cards, I really love the Mathewson.
As for the long talk with the wife, I understand. I was only able to get my girlfriend on board when I was buying a Plank by finally making it clear that if it came to it, I would choose the card over her. It sounds bad, but it's true.
Nelson, sorry I can't post the Plank, but I'm at work now. I'll show it another time.

PS Since the Plank seems to have increased in value since I bought it (2006), she is actually mad at me that I didn't get two Planks (as if that was ever an option for me).

Barry I just love that Nap.
