There are as you well know but there seems to a balance of good people and bad people as for coin collectors they are mostly bad/nasty people. Grumpy old men mostly collect coins.

You are making me feel smarter by the minute continue writing what you write....now that's me been a SHOW OFF....hahahaha!!!

I post the prices because ANYONE can find them I simply save them time..any good writer puts references for what the write about...did you not know that!!!

ummm....I didn't call you a show off, simply asked you to make up your mind.

And also made a wish for humility. I love to see the cards in folks collections - I don't really care how much they cost others - I just like to look at cards. I'll check the book on life to see if it is possible to look at cards without knowing what they cost.

I will see what I can do I need to get a new passport done (I will get one done soon for sure). I will not bring any cards to show because of customs and security reasons. I can't say just yet because a lot can happen from here till then.

There are several in this thread who are doing their best to try & belittle your purchases. It can only be one thing--They are jealous as hell!

You bought some quality cards that I only wish I could afford and I applaud you for being able to do it!

Disregard the jealous slams, whether you overpaid or not, & the snide remarks & do your thing!

Thanks sir for having the courage to state that here on the forum!!! As they say some people will just simply NEVER be happy in their there own lives how can they be happy for others....just glad I am NOT one of those poor people!!!

If my count is correct Adrian has so far posted 56 times in this thread.

GrayGhost · #11 04-17-2013, 07:27 PM

Its nice you can buy what u want. But, if u read this forum, not a lot gloat about how much they spend. Some of us on here can't even buy a 20.00 card. Is thatjealousy? YES IT IS, but I wouldn't gloat that I spent thousands here and there if I did have the money, makes other s feel lousy.

And you dropped $2,500 on a E90 you weren't even aware of a few days ago, when you aren't even sure if it is a variation or not?

Who cares what you would buy no offense. He�s the one who bought them and he�s happy. I would bet the seller is too. So in then end your opinion on the subject doesn�t affect or even register with the two parties involved.

To all on prices while I agree that you can buy collectibles smart and within certain ranges in terms of price, if you educate yourself a bit and exercise a bit of patience. However with that said at the end of the day the bulk of this is worth what someone is willing to pay you for it. These are not things with firm regulated fixed prices.

Win some you lose some that�s the name of the collecting game. Adrian is stoked he found this hobby he�s doing his buying sprint let him enjoy it and be happy he has the interest to be so excited about a hobby we all have money tied too.

Now I do agree Adrian can post them in the pickups with the rest of jackwagons.

Sure the occasional look what I did thread is cool but lots of them can rub folks the wrong way etc. but in the end C'est la vie.

Cheers,

John

Very well said sir!!!

Adrian - Do try to come to the National and the Net54 dinner this year. It's always nice to meet a new collector.

cyseymour · #15 04-17-2013, 07:29 PM

First of all, let's not get all sacrosanct about the cards and prices here. We live in a free market, I think everyone is aware of price and is unafraid to discuss what things are worth. Now, whether we would choose to do that with folks outside the collecting community, it could be distasteful without being asked. I've debated whether to tell people even when asked, but inside the hobby is a different story. Everyone here is spending cash on cards - let's face it.

Adrian, did he overpay? It is a matter of opinion, really. Probably, yes. But not dramatically, and he generally bought classic cards. PSA 5 Wright, it last sold for $3850, there were two other people out there willing to pay in that range, he is not alone then. If PSA set registry guys start to jump all over the set, the price could explode, they don't care if the image is faded or whatever. Anything is possible.

Yeah, Adrian has been impulsive, but he has got the cash to burn. When I had cash, I tore through it, I was even worse than Adrian, I mean, I bought two blockbuster cards in the span of three months. Granted, I purchased them at auction, it's a little different (or a lot different), but the point being that it's easy to burn through money when you've got it.

I also smoked through $5750 buying a Whitney with Dog card. Hall of Famer? No. Rare pose? Nyet. But I love the card, so who's to really say? Adrian obviously didn't want to follow my advice and wait for the auctions, it's his prerogative. Doesn't sound like he did too badly on the Mick, that must be a hot card right now if he's gotten two offers already.

Point being, he's one of us. He's a collector, he's got his ways, there are maybe more savvy collectors out there, but we've all seen worse, and even if his style is a bit manic, he belongs on the board, he is one of us. The hobby needs new collectors, it is the only way it can grow. So welcome, Adrian, and again, congrats on the pickups. Enjoy.

As the under bidder happy to make you whole when you are ready the one night I fall asleep....damn 4-5am Amish hour auctions.

Saying you have never overpaid for something/anything in any collectible hobby is like saying you have ridden a bicycle and have never fallen off you’re either amazing or a liar.

Personally I would prefer seeing 100 posts of Adrian dropping coin and talking smack about his new items he’s jazzed about vs. 100 posts about dinks with fake eBay Wagner’s and such. Or dozens of posts from armchair graders ragging other’s eBay auctions all while bumping their overgraded cards in the BST over and over and over….

How about posts on psa vs sgc or graded vs raw or ragging on high BIN prices?

One of my favorite cards of all time... I have no idea who Whitney is, but that dog is awesome!

Adrian, I am happy that you have found a hobby that you enjoy. Continue to buy what you like in whatever fashion you desire to do so. If you have any questions about anything on the postwar side, always feel free to reach out to me, and I will help where I can. Also, feel free to PM me or ignore me in the future if you don't feel comfortable sharing info in a public setting.

Thanks for extending the olive branch out to me!!!

I go to Montreal quite often as well as Paris it would take one hell of Frenchman let alone one that digs baseball cards to get under my skin.

However there have been a few Qu�b�cois that got the job done.

Look on the bright side at least he�s not insisting that all his cards be bi-lingual or in bi-lingual packaging.

Cheers,

John
