I now own three Drums. Wait, no, I forgot, my crazy bids of appx 5k on either an authentic or PSA 1 drum weren't even in the ball park. (I didn't bid on the Seymour for a board member).

What BS, first someone pays over 8500 for an authentic drum that looked like my kid found some scissors and thought it looked prettier with less edges, and then stuck the card to the bottom of his shoes with gum then ran around outside in the mud for several days. So now every drum is worth that or even a silly 24k? IMHO, People like this ruin an industry because it's probably only about money to them seeing as odds are these cards will hit the market again in another few years. Maybe I'm wrong and some diehards got them to keep forever, and good for them if so, but the prices are utterly stupid right now seeing as those authentics were worth maybe 1-2k on any day before these last two Goodwin auctions it makes it tough for collectors that don't have bottomless incomes to compete.

Off my soapbox

As the old saying goes.....some people just have more money than brains....and in this case....it's very much true. Whoever won these cards better put them in a collection where they'll remain for a very, VERY long time as they're gonna be hard pressed to find another dumb f*ck like themselves to fork over that much money for those particular cards again. Happens all the time, morons who WAY overpay, decide they don't want it anymore, then hope to find another moron who will do the same, lol.......9 times out of 10, they end up taking the huge loss on resale. Always gives me a chuckle every time

I get frustrated for sure because I feel I'm overpaying with my bids and yet it's not even half the selling price. I'm also trying desperately to add any drum to my collection for the love of the company, not the potential of some sort of investment. It's too bad, but yeah, eventually the stupidity will wear off and these cards will find the normal market value again.

Well I didnt win the seymour drum.... Im fine with passing on a card that is worth $5K.. and sells for $25K....maybe the winner thought it was a Ty drum back..... when he wakes up and realizes it was a Cy drum back hes gonna be pissed

I obviously watched the auction very closely... i am very confident that the same person won all 3 drums...

Throughout the entire auction it looked like in fact two guys wanted all 3. all 3 would get a bid at the same time.. then all 3 would get a bid again... I wanted the seymour drum... but for $24,000 ???? isnt that around T206 SGC10 Plank pricing?? I think ill take the Plank lol.

Sorry Jaime that you missed that one. Not that it mattered but I layed off it, I respect other collectors and their goals just as much as mine. I'm still upset myself not having a chance at even an authentic for less than 8k. I thought the Seymour might reach 6 at most... My jaw dropped this morning when I saw it go off at 24.

Damn.... was hoping you guys got your Drums, but, yes, those prices are insane at the moment.

as some may doubt the T206 set, in general, or pre- war cardboard, of possible "down " trending.....the set is just simply following wagner.....it's the ultimate set, and it's starting to show........sorry some haters...

there will always be "big fish" , even in the tough times.... and they know what to collect....Drum are not as rare as some other backs, but who knows when they will follow suite...

altho I didn't concentrate on rare backs, and don't own drum, uzit, bl 460 or the like, I do THANK GOD I collected what I did when I could.....
