Buy the card, not the label

[ScottFandango]

I know an avid collector who spent $50,000 in one weekend on three Different PSA Pujols 2001 rookie cards..he passed me on the pujols rookie registry with these cards to become #1...

Some specific modern cards do garner big bucks....especially rookie cards of all time greats (Pujols)....

We can't let the haze of tobacco stain cloud our perception of modern HAll of famers.... A hof is a hof, no matter the time frame...

No go back to hunting for that next t206.....

I paid $5 for my 1978 Family Fun Center Ozzie Smith. I have Ozzie's true rookie and the guy who dumped 20 grand on his 79 Topps card probably doesn't. And if I had to choose between the two cards and knew I could never resell them, I'd take the Family Fun Center card over the gem mint Topps card any day of the week.

Charlie Sheen wrote a $30000 ck to a hot skank hooker and couldn't even remember doing it so 20k on 0z don't seem so bad when compared to this but both are pretty insane, I mean you can get both for a lot less.

Well put, Johnny!

It seriously depends on the scarcity of the card and how much someone is willing to dish out for it. And because of the PSA registry craze, I'd say a lot!

That being said, some people have no clue and these grading companies are laughing all the way to the bank

Back in May 2011, a collector paid $94, 000 for this 1979 O-Pee-Chee Wayne Gretzky Rookie Card.....






There was a ton of debate over the PSA 10 grade and OPC rough cut. Some agreed with the grade and others didn't.

Bilko,

Thanks for sharing that info...made me feel good that I have common sense

[Mrvintage]

I know the guy that currently owns that Gretzky and I promise you he knows what he is doing. He is a big figure in this hobby and I trust his judgement on that card.
