Jackie Leaf

[LincolnVT]

Recently I learned that one person might have up to 200 of the Jackie Leaf cards? Is there any truth to this?

I remember seeing a guy hoarding them. Once he learns they're a 1949 release and that Jackie's '49 Bowman is as much a rookie as his '49 leaf I don't know how much longer he'll keep hoarding them.

Found it,
His name is Jason Koonce.
Apparently he's a known card trimmer. And owns some obscure grading company called ISA. Notice none of the Jackies are in one of those holders. 😂

I really don't see the point of hoarding any one card, especially if it is a costly one. The variety you could have with the same money spent is crazy to imagine.

The guy who had all the 52 Topps Tony B or the 64 Topps Flood cards comes to mind as well, even if the cards are not top $, it can add up. I think the 52 Topps was a high number, so not cheap.

Of course, I have also seem guys claim they have 5K boxes full of 80s/90s star cards.

I'll admit I have a few hundred of several Garvey cards when I got caught up in buying 50 and 100 card lots many years back, but even a 79 Topps isn't going to set you back much to do that.

Its a strange control issue rabbit hole one goes down when hoarding a specific card.

Especially when there are a lot of them out there. If there were a half dozen or something, and no one else cared so you could get them for nothing, then maybe…

If you like collecting multiple of a card, why shouldn’t you collect that card?
