The hobby is surely passing me by

I'm waiting for Curly of the Three Stooges to be featured on the Wagner card. That nun-fungible asset would easily top 50k. And, my goodness, if it was animated with a soundtrack ("wu-wu-wu-wu-wu") it might go into 6 figures.

Talk about tax reform… whoever is willing to pay $31k for that should have to pay a one-time, stupidity excise tax of 50% the purchase price; so long as the IRS allows that lucky buyer to recapture that tax when the buyer eventually sells it for a huge loss and/or writes it off as a total loss.

Seems insane to me.

But then again, no doubt I would have been one of those folks in 1970 saying “holy crap…. Some idiot just spent $10,000 on a small card board picture of Honus Wagner …. What the hell is wrong with people!!”

I guess you don’t know how stupid anything really is until some time has passed.

I remember when PSA just entered the market place and I told my friend he was absolutely NUTS for spending 3-10X the raw going rate for PSA 9 and 10 Clemente's including spending 30K for a PSA 9 rookie - years later he auctioned his cards and got a cool million for 1955-1973!! In hindsight he sure knew/suspected something I didn't and got to laugh all the way to the bank!!

Like others - I don't get it, but time certainly will tell.
