Nelson That is by far my favorite "Plank", and from Lionels collection too! What ever you paid, It would be a bargain at twice the price. Curious...any paper loss on the back? Dave.

Thanks David appreciated.

here is the scan of the back of the card :

I'm budget conscience when it comes to my collections... in many cases I sell (or flip) in order to support the habit. I picked up the Rossman double name on eBay at a pretty hefty sum (for me), but what an oversized beauty it was. I haven't seen a comparable one come to market since then. I saw the next Rossman in an H&S lot, but again had to have it. Unlike most two namers, this one showed ALL of both names.

After that I tried hunting down the Rossman-Thomas two name when I realized that there was ANOTHER Rossman-McBride. Again, I had to have it. Definitely "overpaid" (or overtraded in this case), but definitely happy to have it.

Still haven't found that Rossman-Thomas. Have some good miscut tradebait available. Or any T206 Rossman miscut will do.

Adam, that Connery and Perez are fantastic. Apparently there is going to be a French film made about Perez.

Chris, I don't have a card to post right now, but I'm pretty sure that after the REA auction is over I'll have one to show you.

This E222 Hooker card is the most expensive card I have ever bought. I won it in a Mastro Auction back in 2006, before I retired - with the recent revelations re the Mastro Auctions, I wonder if I was a victim of shill bidding. Although I don't know if I would recover my cost if I were to sell this card today, I remain happy that I bought it, as it is the highest graded E222 and the only Hooker card in the combined PSA & SGC pop reports. And, being a native and life-long Virginian, I just can't resist rare cards of Virginia League players!

unless you are a dealer I don't think you ever need to worry you overpaid especially with AWH and cards that are that scarce

for what its worth there is another Hooker graded. I am pretty sure it was only graded for the sale by the AH. The consignor or myself probably would not have got the card graded. I think we only know of 4 total Hookers in the AWH set.

I'm pretty sure I overpaid for this one but its got a nice image.

Nothin like an over priced Hooker...I've fallen into that category a few too many

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I may have over paid for this, but I have no buyers remorse nor do I care. As far as I know, it's the only signed Gehrig DeLong in existence, and I've only seen one of DeLong signed.

Would much rather have this than a signed '33 Goudey. Signed cards of him were tough to get, a very short window.

Wow, I had forgotten this old thread. Here's that card from REA that I promised:

Awesome pick-up's, Al, I had no idea that those two were "on the market". There is at least one Baseball Hall of Fame rookie card collector that is going to be mighty jealous when he sees those.....

[Sean]

Jaime, great pick-up. I can't believe that Chris let it go. I was at the National with him when he got it. It was the best card for sale at the whole show.

PS- No wait, Richard Masson had a Wagner for sale. I forgot about that one.

Jealous, but I'm sure my wallet...and wife...are very thankful!

I'd probably give my left one for that card.

[T205 GB]

I could give and endless post on the t205's I sold and bought. It the love of the hobby and chase that makes it worth it though

[ValKehl]

Jim - Thanks for your kind comment and for showing your SGC-graded Hooker card. My eyes are apparently deteriorating as rapidly as my memory, because I checked the PSA & SGC pop reports just before I did my post, and I didn't see your Hooker card (BTW, very nice card - I really like the color of it!).

Brent - Your comment is PRICELESS!

Val

[Jlighter]

Probably overpaid for it, but just couldn’t pass it up.

[mrvster]

I think I may have underpaid

[wonkaticket]

Jim, I'm sure the seller gave you a fair deal.

[CW]

I bought this card when I first started getting into prewar, back around 2001. I didn't know anything about T216s, just that Tris Speaker was a great player with amazing stats, and the image and colors really grabbed me. It was way over my budget at the time, but looking back I'm glad I grabbed it.

Thanks Val

After bit of waiting and a few attempts to find one on the board, I finally picked one of these up. I paid about $200-$300 more than I'd have wanted to.. but based on prices post the "42" release, I feel like I did OK. Where's the Beckett "up" arrow when you need it! (don't really think this bubble can last though). Regardless of "value", I am happy to finally have a clean looking copy.

That is a VERY sharp card. Best looking 5 I've seen from PSA. I would have gladly paid an extra $200-$300 and considered it a bargain.

Thanks, I'm glad I pulled the trigger.. and did so when I did. Those are going nuts now. Since the movie 3-4s have been getting more (in some cases substantially more) than 5s had been and have seen crazy prices on 6s. A 3 sold tonight for $1200 as a BIN.

[Matthew H]

Jim, nice card.

[pbspelly]

Overpaid for this, but since Sullivans are the only cards I collect, I have to overpay sometimes since it's not like I can just move on to another player's card

[steve B]

Probably overpaid a bit for these at the time. Over budget for sure as I hadn't planned on the Cobb.




Most of my better cards were probably a bit over the usual price, but considering how many were bought in the early 80's I figure I did ok.

Paid more than I wanted to.. but lets be honest... this card is crazy!.. I had to have it .. thanks C!

Fun card...I would call it the Pastorius Under Water (Lake) version.

Brian

[aljurgela]

but never thought that I would actually own these...
