The BIG 4-0 & The National
Well, the time has come to turn the page on my 30's and say hello to a new, older decade.
As I close out my 30's and welcome my 40's, my wife is offering me a small shopping spree at The National. Her gift to me is $1,000, to be spent anyway I want. Here is the pressing question - If you had $1,000 to be spent on any old cardboard, how would you spend it? I am a T206 collector, but want to look elsewhere for this gift, as I will have plenty of my own money to spend on those. All suggestions are welcome! |

Pick up a HOF Old Judge. It would stand out from your T206 collection to mark your 40th!!

I'm in a similar situation, only the $1000 is out of my own pocket and not my wife's! I'll be looking for a T206 Red Cobb at the Strongsville show. Assuming you have one of those, I suggest a Wagner or a Goudey Ruth/Gehrig.

Hank Aaron is money in the bank....Buy the highest grade best centered Rookie card you can find.

Bottle of Bourbon and a Hooker...T206 Hooker of course.
My advice...if you're a T206 guy, get something special for your T206 collection. it'll mean more, and you'll love it more. Good luck. |

1) Kiss your wife and tell her she's awesome.
2) There's no need to plan; you won't have a problem dropping a cool grand once you get there. Planning is for auctions, the National is for fun. |
