Which Would You Rather Have?

[Econteachert205]

I'd rather have the cash, but the choice is obvious of course jackson.

Another question might be: Which one is worth more outside the holder?

Shoeless Joe any day!

[7nohitter]

Jackson, no brainer!

That very type of comparison changed my entire collecting philosophy years ago, shortly after I began. It's a very powerful comparison.

Utterly ridiculous

Of course on a prewar board we'll all pick the Jackson (me too). I'm not saying were wrong, I just wonder what the opinion would be on a modern card board.

And also, what is the argument in favor of the Moore card. Is it just two guys who have to have the highest graded set driving the price up?

Yes on both accounts.

If I didn't collect pre-war and ONLY did the registry game I would probably take the Gem Mint card.

Good point and even with a more modern comparison, I'd opt against the Moore card. For example, for the price of the Moore one could obtain all these legends below with change left over for a steak dinner And if we want a basketball to basketball comparison, you could get mint examples of the Jordan AND Bird/Magic RCs with much left over.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves because I just don't get it. I cannot compute how someone would bid 12K for a card that is this ridiculously common, just because someone slaps a 10 on it. According to Ebay you can get PSA 8's all day long for $10

It just blows my mind. There is virtually NO difference in that card and all the 8's and 9's!

mind blown, what a waste of 12000 bucks. I hope 25 more get graded 10's
