But, apparently $32 was not quite a good enough deal, so he offered me $30 for it

By the way, in that post you misspelled Lajoie Polar Bear as "Killian Topps Buyback". I'll give you $25 for it!

(The Lajoie that is)

can easily be a thread of insanely high asking prices as well that sit for years.........since theres no real value in cardboard, yes I know people will pay for it..but I mean compared to 'gold' or something useful in life.....I really think any offer that's worth more than the paper a card is printed on really cant be insulting........its just baseball cards people...

So, baseball cards have no value because cardboard is not inherently "useful in life". And then you use gold as an example of something that is "useful in life". Amazing. Lol.

so you are saying baseball cards are more valuable then gold for prior present and future history

in my humble opinion gold is a lot more useful then cardboard....also I think in the world gold may be more valuable then baseball cards...maybe Im wrong.....don't think you can conduct electricity with cardboard for example....gold used in computers and electronics as well....guess that's not useful in life... amazing lol..

I had a response typed out, but I think I'm going to heed Scott's advice instead.

not sure what you would be responding too...guess going to say cards are more useful than gold in life? heck its just cards who cares...

It's not a matter of being useful. Why does useful even matter? I'm not sure why you brought 'useful' up?

I have both - gold (and silver) and cards. They serve two different purposes. The cards bring me pleasure. The PMs bring me be security.

For that matter, copper is more 'useful' than gold. Does it make it worth more?

I'm not real sure why I'm having this conversation. Something tells me I'm going to regret it.
