Red Hindu Challenge!

Sorry to come off as negative. My point was that while it might be a rare t206, when you say it is a rare baseball card, many would disagree since in the larger context of the board it is not a rare vintage card.

If people want to talk about t206 cards that is perfectly fine. I have said way too much it is time for me to shut up. Take care, bye.

I think T206 collectors for the most part don't even consider the Honus Wagner card to be rare.

If it wasnt for the internet, there would be a TON of "rare" cards, that we dont consider rare now. The ease of a quick Google search can find you just about any card you want to find these days, if you look hard enough.

That may be a fact. However, as I stated earlier, "rare" is a relative term.

If I had a red Hindu to sell, it'd go to anyone but you for $300.

I REALLY try hard not to get into these types of fights BUT I view this T206Chicago guy like most do as a bit of a tough character to want to stick-up for.

I have a hard time putting my finger on exactly why he annoys the hell out of me but the closest I can come is this...

We all have groups of fairly close-knit friends that we may even have inside jokes with, and along comes a guy that wants to be part of that group and his way of doing that involves dominating all the conversation even when he doesn't know what the heck he is even talking about. We've all experienced this at one time or another.

He comes off as a guy that hasn't done any due deligence in researching but makes assinine comments that don't even warrant a response. His childish reactions to everything just make me cringe.

When you have a few hundred of the most knowledgable collectors in the world gathered together here on this forum and a relative nube (w/ at most 5 months in the vintage hobby altogether) trying to dominate the conversation it just annoys the hell out of us!

Wagner isn't rare however the 750-1mm+ dollars to get a nice example seems to be tougher to come by...

Good point John...

There are a bunch of "common" HOF'er cards I cant afford, except in "rare" situations. Sorry couldnt resist.
