Show your T206 card(s) that are more scarce than the JOE DOYLE NAT'L card

[mrvster]

as the collectors become more advanced and understand the set more , they will become to appreciate these more and desire them more....hence values/ prices will sore....sorry to disappoint you....you should have held onto your scrap ....you literally lost tens of thousands, could see why your a little turned from T206 scrap


I would be to if I let go all my scraps that wound up being 10-15 times what I sold them for!

THANK GOD I HAVEN'T SOLD MINE

I wasn't saying the collectors don't understand in a "bad" way, they just haven't been educated on them yet....we are still discovering more everyday about the production through these gems and clues......with out them, we can't truly understand the set the way we have....


how many t206 collectors realize that ames hand over head is not available factory issued with that back??? probably not a lot, until they reference the

the possible back combo's and see they are possible(unless you include the 6 superprints).....ON t206resource.com

scott, your just jealous cause you lost out big time when you dumped your awesome scrap back in the day........AND TOOK A BATH I'M SURE....I still wish I grabbed some more....ROB is happy


don't hate....

you dumped that overprint downey that I couldn't even try to afford!!

btw....I haven't bid on any cards in a long time ......funds have been tight...

so , I personally know the "thin" scrap market you talk about a few guys running up the prices has expanded through education....



I respect your ground breaking research on the matter, and do respect you, but can't help to set you straight sir..


yes my friend, you must be kicking your self for letting an 8k card go for a song back in the day, or any of the others.....

and now you must hate


embrace that collectors are truly starting to appreciate these gems.....

and...

btw...
to burst your bubble, most sets or issues aren't even close to as popular as the T206 set...





just a matter of time...

c'mon scott.....


respectfully

Learning something new everyday. Very cool!

[mrvster]

I have to say, was not fair of me to "rub salt" in your face, Scott......we have all regretted letting some cool cards go, and that wasn't right...
didn't want to seem like I was gloating in your loss..


was a low blow....I do not mean to kick a man when down....

was not right of me....

the scrap will speak for itself

It's funny that you still aren't willing to give up on that line of thinking and you try it again each time I question the prices being paid for your beloved printer scraps. I sold all of mine at a profit, and used the profit to buy other things, which I again sold at a profit - I'm probably still earning money off of the scraps I sold ten years ago.

Sounds like the regret is on your end, but I won't try to guess what's hurting you so bad other than possibly the inability to obtain all these wonderful cards you keep gloating over?

Just try using logic to explain your thinking - it works better than the proverbial straw man

[mrvster]

you said it right "beloved" scrap......most of the scrap "chasers" I know have been tapped! you can ask them yourself....most of the "players" have stepped aside to let others have at them.(scrap)..

I'm sure you have made some profit, but try to buy downey back...or some others....with these one- of- a- kinds, sometimes money just won't do it

there is a whole new arena of collectors entering the scene who have caught on.......and now desire these true gems...



they will continue to catch on.....

it's kinda of "bitter sweet" for me....

the cards are finally starting to get the recognition they truly deserve

although out of my reach...

not bitter, but happy now I have an incredible collection....regardless of value, I love them!! anyone who truly knows me, knows this is the truth......

am I a crusader?? possibly.....

some call me the "Grand daddy of scrap" "scrap master"....a true "pioneer"...

I know one thing.....card board gold


you might have made profit , but can't bring those back to you...


who is the bitter one??

Very well-said Johny.

Uh-oh, there you go again. So are you jealous over my having had cards at one time that you now love? Or is it something else? If it helps you any, I've probably only owned about 15 scraps, but I've owned literally thousands of other cards, as well as thousands of other pieces of sports memorabilia. Am I "bitter" over those items as well? Please give me a list of all of the cards I have owned that I am now bitter over. It doesn't matter much to me, but it might prove to be therapeutic for you. P.S. - stay away from sharp objects while you are creating the list.

you know those are the ones you truly miss............

thousands of pieces and only a few scraps??? puts it in perspective....

It really does. I bought a single example of each scrap type, for use in writing an article, while I bought multiple example of other items that I had more of an interest in. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed my collection of scraps while I had them.

If it makes you feel any better, I can list for you all of the items that I miss, in order. My T206 Jacklitsch proof would make the list, as would my T205 Reulbach scrap and my T206 Reulbach brown Hindu ledger page. Probably also one of the BL460's. Does that help any? Probably odd to you, but my miscut backs didn't do much for me other than earn a good profit when sold. I did like the upside-down Piedmont that was perfectly upside-down, but quite frankly - it looked like a normal card from either side

The item I miss most out of anything I ever sold was my 1909 Pittsburg team supplement that once hung in Wagner's office.
