1953T Willie Mays.. ?- $20.- ?

[hangman62]

Tony,
Sorry to hear your no longer interested in the 53T Mays..I know 30 is about the highest youd consider.... I agree too many guys are using the price guide as the bible of all... It doesnt matter that it books for 2500..try and get what you can and learn from it...I will try and move on to the next guy...

thanks for the offer anyway

Ralph,

If you TRULY believe that the Mays and Gehrig are only worth $39 combined, then I will give you 3X that ($117).

Is this card actually for sale (1953 topps Mays)? If so what is the real price?

David,
For petes sake..let me get the Gehrig scan up first !
I really thought I had something with the 53T Mays...but I dont know now..the one guy offered me $20....but all this stuff about "I dont really need it..and its worth less to me...not dear to my heart"..and all this nonsense....I mean I realize we are talking about cardboard pictures here..and beat up at that..but I dont get it..when Im selling they say " forget the price guide"..when I buying...they quote it like Shakespere !

Hey buddy...
I sent you an email (your aol account)
Please read it if you got it.
Full disclosure to all, I am not trying to buy the cards.
I have a Mays and while I would love another Gehrig, I am not after the cards.
Your Card pal,
Brian

Very simple solution. Post it in the live auction section. You WILL get a lot more than $20 for it. I'll open bidding with $40 (it will go for much more)

Ditto the Gehrig

I'm calling BS on this entire thread. The OP claims that the Mays was bought as a PSA 1. VCP average for a PSA 1 is $244. The OP had to pay somewhere in that ballpark for the card, but only thinks it's worth $20? Come on! Who believes this crap?

To the OP: This is the BST section. If the cards are for sale, list them with a price. If you only want to know what they're worth (and I think you already know), then address your question in the proper section.

David,
That meter is funny as hell !..Ive never seen that one before..but come on..take it easy on me..Im just trying to clean out a bunch of old junk cards to make my downsizing/ house move more manageable.
Now Im not trying to pull a fast on you here,but would you mind if I added a few bucks to your offer of $117 for the 53T Mays and 34G Gehrig..just for shipping charges...nothing outragous..two plastic sleeves and a bubble pack.
