With all of this banter about how much people are paying for memorabilia, I thought..

I paid about $500 for a '53 Topps Satchel Paige in very nice shape. Almost the same for a Koufax rookie, also in Very Good-ish, maybe a little better shape.

I picked up a beater '49 Bowman Paige for a song, and I'd like to round out the Satchel Paige collection with a '48 Leaf Paige, too, but that'll probably cost me a bit more than $500

Copa - Very nice! I have the same card framed and sitting 4 feet behind me in my office right now. Although your signature looks better, mine is rushed and in purple, making it hard to read against his black sleeve.

I've showed it here multiple times before but I think it's still my most expensive piece. 1960 original handpainted Topps Flexichrome of Killebrew & Colavito ('59 home run leaders) for a card that was never produced because Rocky was traded. The colors look absolutely amazing in person. I really don't remember what I paid for it though...



I also pulled a Yount rookie from a '75 rack pack last year. I got it graded and it received a PSA 9. Flipped it.
