A better analogy is selling your 1978 Fiat and then going back to the Fiat enthusiasts chat board and telling everyone how crummy Fiat's are. It's just a hobby. I try to enjoy it for what it is.

Falling on deaf ears and sounding like a broken record on Net54 to the same crowd.
More importantly let's get this thread back on track. How are the December results panning out? They had some excellent Cobb's go off in auction last night! |

And, Ben, no worries, I'm not a graded card guy. I'll be okay. Thanks, Rob |

e105
I hope they come down some more, so I can collect this set again. I should have kept bidding on the e105 Evers in Heritage. the winner of that one got a nice card.

I like the analogy. Aren’t baseball card collectors basically addicts as well?
Both the Drug Dealer and TPG are benefitting from illegal sh*t, and will continue to do so until people stop paying them. The only significant difference is that the local drug dealer makes small potatoes, when compared to his counterparts in Newport Beach. |

But there is a little similarity there, with regard to the addiction thing. I fully admit to being an “addict” and a slave to this stuff. And have spent money in unhealthy ways- when it could’ve gone towards bills or charity or something more meaningful to basic life needs. So I do think that TPG and Drug Dealer both benefit from addictive human tendencies. Can we at least agree on that? :rolleyes: |
Fair.

It’s a shame.....it is what it is.....has always been this way. It’s corrupt but it’s just baseball cards, we are just malcontents on a message board. It’s better for me to remember the fun this hobby brings. I’m going to just try and find some joy left from it. Life is to short to be bitter and angry.....the heck with it. |
Rally Rd. E98 Cobb
1 Attachment(s)
With all of the talk on the E98 Cobb PSA 9s, I found it interesting to see one on Rally Rd with a 39k valuation.

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. For what it’s worth, I have seen prices in the past 3-4 pwcc auctions, on things I collect, more in-line with expectations; although I am still angry, dubious and not bidding yet. |

If you can't stop in the face of this billion $$$ fraud.... I hate to break it to you, but you are addicted. |

let's all do the right thing and continue to support a fraudulent system where collectors get taken behind the woodshed and have the snot beat out of them like a red headed step child...it's fun to support crooks! PSA rocks, let's POP!!!!! |

I don't stop by the board too often or else I would have responded earlier but I had the E98 set below (which I obtained from the original collector with my father back in the mid 1970s) graded at the 2005 National in Chicago. Before the BSF, it was by far the highest graded set of E98s and has several examples that were graded higher than a 6 by SGC. https://sgclegacy.com/usersetcomposi...&usersetid=872 Regards, Scott |

I would say it is fore speculators rather than collectors. I became aware of them when they made available a T206 Wagner, that way I could say I owned one. ;)

I didn’t even follow this auction - looked at the offerings when the auction began and there were very few cards I was even remotely interested in, so I guess I forgot. Time permitting, I may go back and look at the sale prices on a few t206s and see how they compare.
|
There was a PSA 8 McElveen last night that previously sold at HA for $2220 in Sept -- went for $1790.
|
I was watching the E98's; seeing if/when we ever find a bottom from the apparent limitless supply from the BSF. Crazy that a 8.5 Cobb goes for $11K (crazy cheap IMO) but it's apparent the supply side is not done yet, and those that bought BSF cards early on are taking a beating.
That set will end up the most affordable/attainable high grade set of E-Cards - which is kind of fun, since assuming everyone agrees about the provenance/authenticity; at least with those you can feel pretty sure they're unaltered. |

i was bidding on the 1908 E102 Cobb (sgc10). It was nice and the wrinkles didnt bother me. I forgot that it was ending last night. I thought it was under-priced.
