IMO, yes w/o a doubt. I think you can beat that but they don't come up that often.

Default Thanks Jeff & Leon

There is one on ebay for $1300 but $1000 is his bottom line. Appreciate the input and i will wait for one at the right price.
Thanks again

Just to put it in perspective, you could be waiting years to see another R309-2 Greenberg in EX condition. I have definitely paid premiums, more times than I can count, to get a card I want. I would guess many on this board have too. If Greenberg was the last card I needed in the set, and the rest of the set I had was already EX, I could see me ponying up for it at that price. However, it is a bit of a high price to pay under ordinary circumstances.

You may wait awhile. They are very tough cards. I've had an Ott that I have tried to sell off and on for years. Great player, 500 HR club, HOF, ya ya ya. Had it priced as low as $250 at one time, no bites. Greenberg has a much greater following than Ott though. I built a set one at a time and it took a long time to find them all. The seller of that one btw is a good guy and may be more attuned to the market than I.

Default what would you say the condition is?

I think it is just a great image. Not completing a set. Never owned one of these so any help on what you consider the condition to be?

You would think it would be in some demand because of Jewish player collectors would want it, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Default Complete Set

$1K for an ex condition Greenberg is quite steep......Fairly tough issue in high grade although I was fortunate enough to purchase the entire set (there is no Lester Bell) in the Legendary May 2011 Auction for $1075 with a near mint Greenberg

Very tough in high grade due to the size and thin paper. I got in mine in a trade+cash deal several years ago for around $900:
