The ONE card you want.....that you can afford....

Derek, there's a 1.5 t205 Joss in the first Joe's Vintage auction, just posted today... maybe you want better grade but, as the say, "affordable"

[DerekMichael]

Thank you Greg, I appreciate the heads up. What I am really looking for is an example with sharp corners and all of the gold intact. A high end example, so to speak. I just do not see them very often. There will come a day! Thank you again for the heads up.

Here's what I want. It sold at a Heritage auction in 2004.
Does anyone know who has it??

and you can afford it? Geesh!

For the last 9 years I've been looking for a Willard's Chocolate Collins. I have the Ruth and Cobb but can't find the Collins.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Easy. 1915 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb. I wouldn't murder anyone (yet) but it may come to that.

[Rich Klein]

but vg at best 69 Topps Mantle (does not have to be white letter)

well, it's definitely not a drop in the bucket ...... but i'll spend that much putting the monster together over the next 24 months ...... but if i had a shot at that card (at a reasonable price) I would put the monster on hold for a couple years and stare at that single card the entire time

With the money you'd spend, you could buy a W600 Cobb, a D304 Cobb and a t215 Cobb and still have PLENTY of money leftover.

Plus a card like that will most likely be spending most of its time in a bank vault.

For me:

Prewar - 1921 Zeenut #18 Oscar Stanage (and/or 1922 Zeenut #74 Oscar Stanage)

Post war - 1987 Pocatello Giants the Bon #9 Mike Greenwood (I have been looking for this one forever to finish my Greenwood set)
