Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to corner the market on rare non-HoFers from sets that people have little interest in.

I wasn't exactly trying to hoard them, but at one point I had 3 of the 7 graded e92 Nadja Jennings and knew where 3 more were (1 in each of the top 2 registry sets and 1 in a board member's Jennings collection). Traded 1 of mine to another board member for his Jennings back run this summer.

T206 Honus Wagner. Terrific card. I had 3 at one point and wanted to get the rest. One person actually had the rest for sale, and I was in the middle of making a deal with him when...
... I woke up. What a dream.

Years ago I started buying all the T204 Tom Reilly cards I could find. I wasn't hoarding them per se, I planned on destroying them because he wasn't good enough to be in the set and I thought 120 cards seemed more logical for a set size than 121. It was also out of spite for no Pirates in the set. Maybe someday I'll start buying them again to finish my goal, but I think it's been at least 14 years since I bought one.

Back when I was a seller instead of the collector I am now I done it with several different error cards. I done it to make $ though not have a bunch of the same card.

I've never done it, but there's several guys hoarding certain T206's, hence the premium- Titus, Shag, etc.

in the past when boxing was selling a bit better, I had a good amount of specific boxing cards. I enjoyed it and may do it again

At one point I thought seriously about trying to corner the market (with another Net54 member) on 1907 and 1908 Dietsche Cobbs. We were up to 18. But then we realized it would involve buying a bunch of PSA 1s for $1200 each. That was the end of that.

I once owned two rookie cards of Bill Bradley. I figured that if he was elected to the Presidency I would sell one at a handsome profit. While I haven't given up hope, I'm starting to think it was a bad investment.

I would like to corner the market on Ars Longa's Phenomenal Smith card.
I think that is 9 cards total.

I laughed out loud. We are all a bit nuts and OCD.
I toyed with the idea on two pre-war football cards: the 1894 Mayo Cut Plug Poe and Hinkey. But when you start dropping money on the same card, it adds up, and you start thinking about the stuff you could have bought with that money instead. Its the same reason I cant build sets. It drives me nuts spending money on commons when i could have bought a monster card instead. |
