Broad Leaf 460 Question/Speculation

Actually, I DO realize how hard it is to find a card like this, that's why I was concerned about ANY find of 460s doubling the population of this card overnight. I don't think it is at all likely a find like that will occur, but I would've said the same thing a few years ago before the Drum find.

You don't know me....so why on earth would you even say something like this? Only reason I can even think of is that you know the consignor and are hoping to "reverse-psychology" me into bidding???

I saw your original and post-edit post...I really don't understand why you decided to take the rude route, though that does seem to be the default setting around here. Based on previous sales, (the BL 460 Auth Mathewson that was sold through cardtarget in 2008 was interesting to read about), and the high grade of this card in particular, I'm sure the card will sell for much more, maybe more than double the current bid, so your patronizing comment wasn't really needed.

Everyone is so filled with vinegar here.....isn't this supposed to be fun?!?!?!

not pestering you -just want to know what 3 you have owned-would not have asked if you didn't say it.

You started off by saying

and I immediately addressed that request for information...

....you just chose to ignore it, so now I'm going to ignore you. I'm not required to disclose every card I've owned or currently own. And to REQUIRE irrelevant information from me before sharing your BL460 information is childish. If you have valuable information to share with the board, then by all means, do it! If you don't, then feel free to keep your mouth shut.

Here's a quote from Leon....try to let it sink in....

......If you can help with an answer to his question then great. If not, then please ask other questions of him by PM....

you think everybody is attacking you-I don't post negative posts. If I knew what 3 you owned, I could tell you if they are duplicates known or they are 1 of 1. I will keep my information to myself and not help but would have certainly helped if you followed through-you were the one asking and saying you owned 3. Could have been a good thread if you would have let it...

Go to my profile and read everything I have ever posted.

What difference does it make whether the ones I've owned on random occasions over the last 25 years were 1 of 1 ?!?!?! I'm not buying them back, so I don't care!!!

Again, that has NO BEARING WHATSOEVER on what this thread is about, which is the Cy Young. Like I said, you could've emailed me and I would've told you, I just didn't want the thread todevolve into a thread about the previous ones I've owned, or ones other people have owned, or any other BL 460s. I just wanted info on the Young and what the likelihood and effect of a find would be, that's all!!!

To answer your question in your initial post, I say yes to paranoid. I don't know about the idiotic part.

I appreciate that....I can just imagine what it would've been like to have owned a high-grade Drum and then hear news that there was a Drum find of 70 new Drums (which represented an increase of over 50% of the known Drums at the time)....

Some cards I don't care about much, and am willing to turn over quickly if the opportunity presents itself. Other times I put it in the SDB at the bank and then never think about it being on the market again...the Young would be one that I'd try not to think about ever moving again, but bigfish is doing a good job of talking me out of going after it.
