Cobb/Cobb card in Goodwin Auction

[JP]

You may want new reading glasses old-timer. The ones you're wearing are making you read too much into things. My post was, in fact, all about the card, just like the thread title.

Munee was never indicated in any single one of your post.

Tell us JP, how long have you been feeling this way?

How long have I been feeling that the Cobb/Cobb has transcended its old price points? I guess about 48 hours now. Everytime I see one of your posts, I look for a decoder ring. I know they are supposed to be humorous, I just don't always get them...

Every single thread, or post that you've been involved in since you arrived on this forum ... is about MUNEE.

I know that to some, this is difficult to accept, but this forum was originally a vintage card forum, and not the Wall Street Journal.

All I'm saying is that this forum is drifting more, and more away from the actual vintage card topics.

It makes collectors want to look for a real VINTAGE forum.
If that's what Leon wants ... that's what he 's going to get.

JP, you don't need a decoder ring ... you need a course in English comprehension.

Ah, you're finally typing in English...much easier to read. I've been here for 3 or 4 years, and not every post has been about money.

Money in many ways drives the growth of interest in the hobby...it makes headlines. Just because I talk about the price of the Cobb/Cobb doesn't make the hobby all about money for me. Money, in this case, is a very relevant thing to talk about as we just saw an unprecedented price for a card. That in itself should spark some interesting conversation about THE CARD itself.

I for one have grown increasingly skeptical of Goodwin auctions. A few auctions back they had t206 lower level HOFers in psa9 going for close to
50k. Either they have the greatest customer base in the universe or
something is not kosher.

Also, Joe P., there is no need to be a fatalist. This board isn't dying. And you don't need to take your ball and play elsewhere. There's plenty of room here to talk about everything.

I see nothing wrong with this posting. It IS about the "munee" in this case. And like it or not Joe, "munee" is a KEY ingredient to the hobby. If you want a hobby that doesnt have such a focus on the "munee", then why dont you start a collection of washers.

It had to be something that didn't go down well with someone in a higher place.

I can speak in two, or three languages, but this guy wouldn't get it in any of them.

Most of the current newbies have their eyes on the ball, but there must have been a forum that did a little house cleaning, because you have a couple that just plain don't want to get it.

Leon, whatever you did ... beg for forgiveness ... or you gonna end up with the Wall Street Journal.

Wall Street Journal? Its completely impossible to make a total seperation of cards and money Joe. Especially at the level of some of the collections here! There are plenty of hobbies that you can enjoy without worrying about dollars. I hear beanie babies are basically worthless, as are pogs, washers (as I recommended earlier), and possibly postcards or matchbooks. If you really want a "financial disconnect" in a hobby, why dont you try one of the above suggestions? But when a piece of cardboard sells for 6 figures, its IMPOSSIBLE to not discuss the financial aspect of it!

Civility is as rare as a Cobb back.
