unfortunately your negative attitude prevented you from participating in this. you must be lots of fun at parties[/quote]
Actually my baseball card collection is up big time so unlike you I did participate in this. Too bad you missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime to get in on it too. Since you have friends in the industry you should have known it was going to explode.[/quote]
Missed nothing. Im loaded with many rare cards. Mantle RC, Ryan/Koosman RC, Alcindor (Kareem) RC among others. Hope your’s are PSA graded. If not you are SOL[/quote]
If you actually own a Mantle rookie 52 topps, my hats off to you. I for one am a collector, not investor. I don’t collect graded cards in slabs, very unattractive. I do realize it is necessary these days in order to sell ultra high dollar cards. But pretty much ruined the hobby in my opinion.[/quote]
Same here. The cards are in good condition as to have real value but nowhere near good enough to be worth anything close to the ones on top condition. They are just cool things I like having. My dad sold cracker jacks at Forbes Field in the Mid 30’s. I have a one of a kind collection of autographed photos he got of the 35′ Pirates. There are a few Hall of famers on the team. No one in my family really appreciates them. Some day I want to donate them to the team with the stipulation they create a display of them and credit my father by name. That would be a cool way to honor his memory
