Last month, when I was passing through NYC, Bruce (very, very graciously) gave me a tour of the part of his collection that is currently in his NYC apartment. It is truly stunning. |

I think the Bruces can speak for themselves but I dont think they took advantage of the school teacher. I cant imagine a teacher being that naive about a value of a card after 5 years of correspondences asking for it. Back when they bought the card $1400 overnight was a large sum of money for a card and that apparently was the teachers price on it,one that he held out 5 years for. It was also a very nice profit for the teacher considering what he paid the first guy for it. The guy never came to the Dorskind group asking for a value and he had 5 years to find out on his own. |

Let's see. Bruce bought the Mathewson for 40% more than he perceived its value to be at the time of the purchase. And the person he bought it from acquired the card for $1 from some unsuspecting person at a flea market. Who again David did you say took advantage of who? |

This is among the silliest debates we've had on this board. And given the shrill nature of the political threads, it might be best just to move on. |

I see Bruce's analogy, and I have to agree with him. I've sold baseball memorabilia over the years that has increased in value tremendously. But I can't call past customers up and ask them to send some more money for that T206 Cobb they bought from me for $100 in 1990. At the time of the transaction it was a fair price. |

Posted By: Jay
This is the problem with tenure. Instead of doing what the college is paying him to do, David can sit at the computer arguing with Bruce. Bruce is 100% right on this one. While Bruce may have been convinced in his own mind that the card would be worth more in the future, there was no certainty of this. He took a risk when he bought the card. He held it for years and then was sold it for a profit. Good for him, that's called successful investing. |

Al- I actually thought of the same analogy. Things go up, and they go down...it's a risk. And Bruce took a risk when he paid $1400 for something which at the time offered no guarantee of future appreciation. |

Heaven knows, Barry, that I've overpaid for cards that have not yet eclipsed what I paid for them. I wish I was sharp enough to know which cards are going to appreciate in value and which aren't. I don't know that having that knowledge would change anything about what I buy, but it sure would be nice to know. |

Great vid Bruce. Not what I expected though. Although we are succesful in snaring very hot mates... I think sportscard collecting attracts more uglies than any other hobby -not excluding myself, of course. |

I've seen this video before.."we" never get tired of seeing it. Love to see a close up of that Johnson&Johnson advertising sign. I don't think I've ever seen that sign before. Don't see much wrong with the said transaction either...the teacher could have always contacted other collectors and or dealers to gauge its value before parting with it. Pre internet days..we all had to do our own reserach manually. |
