Question about the New Poll

[Archive]

Posted By: Hal Lewis

Jeff: You are "fairly" certain of it... and so was I... which was why I had to ask the question and why I offered the "voting with your heart" as an option.

Of course the hobby is NOT about money...

but the E107 Wagner is going up for SALE next week... not a RAFFLE.

People interested in owning it (like me) are NOT going to be able get the card with anything BUT money.

But as an attorney, I think you would agree that sometimes "information" can be as valuable as money. Thus, someone like me who will be bidding on the card should want as much information from the gurus on this board as possible.




I am also an attorney, so here are a few more relevant factors I considered before posting:

All of the polls in the past have said "Regardless of value..." as a precursor to the general question. This one did NOT, so one might deduct that the pollster had INTENTIONALLY tried to pick out 3 cards with similar values in order to take "value" out of the equation.

Also, the pollster could have chosen a MUCH NICER T206 Wagner for the photo. Therefore, the fact that a very low grade T206 was used for the poll might lead one to believe that the pollster was INTENTIONALLY trying once again to keep the "values" similar and therefore out of the equation.



I could understand your position if I had asked the question like this:

"Are there really any of you idiots out there who would rather have the E107 or the Reccius instead of $135,000? Come on, you guys are stupid! It's all about the VALUE of the cards!"

That is how Adam J Morraine would have phrased the question... and he would have DESERVED your wrath!





But again, since I was serious with my question...

I ask ANYONE if they truly believe that the E107 will go for more than $135,000?? This is important information relevant to an upcoming auction.

Thanks
