There should be a Net54 "great quotes" section with this one near the top!

I have lost some money thinking along those lines as well.

Rarity means low supply, but there's that other nasty price component called "demand"!

Pete,

For long-term comparison, my 1993 Beckett says:

T207 Loudermilk: $1,000 VG-EX (raw); $2,500 EX-MT (raw)

T206 Cobb Bat On: $800 VG-EX (raw); $2,000 EX-MT (raw)

(Note: This is at the height of the early 1990s BB card bubble).

Hypothetically, would you trade your SGC 40 Loudermilk for an SGC 40 Cobb Bat On?

Edited to add: Oh, I see yours is a Red Cross. Never mind.

Lowdy is gone...I took a little beating on him. Obviously I would not make that trade...not even factoring in the back of lowdy!

I guess I overpaid on every item I've ever won at auction - or, at least I paid more than anyone else thought it was worth!

I watched for a long time for a Moses Yellow Horse card to show up. When one (1923 Zeenut) finally did, I paid more than I thought I would.

Not too long afterward, a second one (the one I was originally looking for - 1922 Exhibits) came up and I paid about a third of what I did for the first one.

Glad to have both!

When I got into back collecting, I jumped into buying Hindus a little too fast and overpaid for a few. I'd probably have trouble breaking even on this one, but I love it. It's real nice for the grade, and in the last 4 years I have only seen one other come to market and it was very low grade.
