I agree, any amount over the fair market value should be tax deductable. What is the fair market value? The fair market value is what it sells for in an open auction....

Ooooh, it's a right off.

Do you even know what a right off is?

No, but they do, and their the ones righting it off.

Right on!

The fact that a restored Wagner didn't sell for 160k and this one is already at 180k says a lot to me.

Yah it says when it's time to sell your collection, grab yourself a few penguins and let them handle, forget Mr Mint.

I'm thinking of opening "Second to Nun Baseball Cards and Memorabilia Auctions".

I am sorry is this a Seinfeld quote or something? I don't understand.

it's the mainstream media exposure...that cincy cdv on jay leno also went big bucks?

It's a Seinfeld quote...but it's a "write off." ( I know Quan loves when I correct spelling)

I'm far from an expert on the value of T206's, but when I saw that card up for Auction, I was thinking maybe $50k to $75k given the condition. I could understand why this card sold for such a premium back when they thought only 10-15 of them existed. But now that there is believed to be 60-80, I am amazed they sell at these levels. I wonder what the true population of the card is?
