Or would I rather have a gem mint Ozzie Smith rookie card or a brand new renovated kitchen (AND bathroom outside of NY)...? Are you kidding me?

For the winner of the $50K Bradshaw card -- for an extra six thousand dollars, you could have won yourself one of the scarcest and most coveted pre-war cards in existence: a 1914 Cracker Jack Christy Mathewson in EXCELLENT (SGC 60) condition.

Maybe I can pick up a mint Joe Greene card for $40k to complete my million dollar 1971 Topps football set....

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I think it would be pretty easy to find a huge Ozzie fan who would be baffled that anyone would care about what he views as some goofy cartoon card from the 1930s. Even easier to find a football card collector who doesn't care about baseball cards at all.
I think it's inevitable, and good for the collecting hobby, that individual interests cover such a wide spectrum.

Frank Robinson 9 around 50K. Gibson 9 around 45K. Seriously. And the 7 Mantle on Goodwin is over 200K on day one.

I think it's pretty poor form and really low sportsmanship to try and put down what some fellow collector spends his money on. Certainly doesn't create an inviting environment.

Perhaps a die hard Ozzie Smith fan could not care two licks about Mathewson. Yet we don't see the Smith fan railing against the Mathewson purchaser.

Listen, I love Ozzie Smith and Terry Bradshaw. I love filet mignon too, but I wouldn't spend $33K on a piece of it.

Breaking price records is one thing but what was the price of the last one to sell? What is the SMR? How many 1979 Topps cards are out there? How many unopened packs still exist? I am just saying there is no logic behind a purchase like that.

You think a price like that will be sustained? A guy is now going to sell his PSA 9 Smith for ONLY $5k?

I think you can say what you want to but if you are going to give an opinion of someone else's thought you need to have your full name in your post. Nothing personal...same rule for everyone and it's at the top of every page in bold print.

It's a chat board. If someone thinks someone else is acting crazily they can address it, with their name being next to their thoughts. No worries at all...

Personally I think a much more interesting "what if" would be the $20,000 plateau from REA .

I have heard a lot crazier prices than either the bradshaw or the Ozzie. I could easily see the Ozzie selling for more. I would have guessed probably 25- 35 on the bradshaw but in this hot of a market 50 doesn't surprise me at all

Hot Springs Bathers · #8 05-15-2016, 10:29 AM

I have looked at the site, but am too stupid I guess to see the final price on the T206 set. What did it sell for?

Trolling isn't allowed. You registered with the wrong info and wrong name ..... I don't understand it, as I think I know who you are, but it is what it is. Buh bye.

Not sure who he is but thank you. Overly annoying.

Being annoying isn't against the rules or I would frequently have to ban myself. However, posing as someone you aren't is against the rules. I hope I keep getting good, anonymous tips too. I appreciate them.

I was incorrect and Metsbaseball isn't who I thought it was. He is registered with, and uses, a middle name. No harm no foul. We just had a nice conversation. Carry on..
