$3,950 on eBay



$1,450 on eBay



===============

The problem is I wouldn't want either. That ball is single-signed, but it sucks! A REAL single-signed baseball books at $8,000

A PSA Graded ball runs $5000 for a 7, $9,000 for an 8, $22,000 for a 9, and $50,0000 for a 10.

A photo is worth $1000. Where? I'd pay that (well, not right now...when I get a job though I'd spend my first check on that). I can't find a Bobby Layne one either rant What it's worth ($150) is no big deal. Hell, I'll pay $300 RIGHT NOW if you can find me one to my liking. I've never seen one at any price.

Yeah but you can get it with no signature at all. I'd rather have the photo with nothing at all, just the photo than a fake signature.

I don't have any unsigned pictures. I kind of want a Cobb one though (my avatar one for example).

The only signed balls I have are McLain and Rodney. I have Virgil Trucks' autobiography which he signed. He's a pretty nice guy. I sent him an old 195X topps (forgot which year) of his for him to sign. He signed that and sent me like 5 other signed cards and a letter. I bought his book and he signed that and sent like a bunch more signed cards and a letter.

Harwell signed my photo pretty quick - CA to MI and back in 6 days (those 6 days included a Sunday and a Monday national holiday!)

I have the 1984 team photo signed by Parrish. I'll try to get more autographs before I hang that. I had the 1968 photo but Don Wert never signed it (why'd I pick him first?????). It might come back though - I sent 1968 and 1984 on the same day in 8/2006 and Parrish was returned last month Shocked

Congrats!

I've got the 2007 Topps Detroit Tigers Update set on the way:
CLICK HERE

It has:
Chad Durbin Smile
Jose Capellan
Marcus Thames
Neifi Perez Rolling Eyes
Cameron Maybin - RC
Macay Mcbride Rolling Eyes
Eulogio De La Cruz - RC
Justin Verlander (NO-HITTER)
Ivan Rodriguez (All-star)
Placido Polanco (All-star)
Magglio Ordonez (All-star)
Justin Verlander (All-star)
Carlos Guillen (All-star)
Magglio Ordonez (Home run derby)
Crawford/Guillen

I probably could've got it cheaper without a buy it now, but who cares! I can't wait for these especially the Verlander no-hitter card - since June I've wondered if they were going to make a card commemorating that and they are!

It looks like this:



Too bad that's only a facsimile signature rant

I got to get me about 60 years worth of team sets. Baseball cards are so damn expensive!

I've got EVERY Lions Topps team set 1957-2007. Most expensive card was like $20 - if that. I think the set is at around 1000 cards right now. I'm working on the old Bowman ones - those cards get expensive. I have every card from 1950 other than Doak Walker. That one won't come cheap...a good one will set me back $50 - still nothing compared to a Kaline rookie:

This one sold for $36.57 and look at! It's a piece of crap:



This one is $1,300.01! :



It's practically perfect though. A nice one is around $100...really nice is under $250. Immaculate is a grand+

The SMR lists that card at:

PSA 5: $260
PSA 6: $360
PSA 7: $535
PSA 8: $1000
PSA 9: $5000

Looks like the guy overpaid by $300! He could have got a PSA 5 AND a PSA 8 for what he paid. IDIOT! Or, he could've added a PSA5 1948 George Kell rookie ($425) if he didn't mind paying another $125. He probably could've got a PSA 4 for $300 (SMR doesn't list price).

It's one thing to overpay but $300 on a $1000 card?

No Neifi in the 2008 set! Instead I get to get Willis, Cabrera, and Renteria! Works for me!

I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 20,000 baseball cards (if not more...it's been so long since I counted them! lol). What I'm ever going to do with them...I don't know. Right now they are stored in several large moisture resistant boxes under my bed. If I get any more...I can ditch the Box Spring and set the mattress right on the boxes of cards! LOL



That sounds like me. I have so many commons that are worth next to nothing. Who knows what to do with them. I don't really want them but I'd hate to throw them away - they weren't free. Nobody wants a 1983 Topps Neifi Perez (or whoever was the Neifi back then) No

They're stored well. They're mostly from the mid-1980s so they're prior to the age of a billion sets. They were made back when there were like 2 or 3 companies out there. Still, they're mostly commons.
