What card (s) would you be willing to spend over 10 000$ to own it?
 

For me there are only 4 cards that I would be truly willing to spend that kind of money and on:

-1909 E90-1 Caramel Shoeless Joe Jackson (my max would be a graded 2);

-T206 Eddie Plank (my max would be a graded 2 or 3);

-1933 Goudey Nap Lajoie # 106 (my max would be a nice authentic one...like the super nice one they just had at the REA)

and

-1952 Topps Mickey Mantle (my max would be a graded 4)

The 1916 Ruth rookie is now to expensive for my taste!!!

Even if I had 200 000$ to spent those are the only 4 I would go over 10 000$ for. I know some of you are going to say super expensive cards but be honest would you really pay 400 000$ for a T206 Wagner...I know I could not do it even if I had 2$ million dollars to spend....I would rather own a super nice cottage and go there on weekends (I own a condo right now so the outdoors would be awesome...don't get me wrong I love the condo life as well during the week) to fish and make barn fires and BBQ....that would be just great...with my brother and his wife and my niece.

Plank missing color

I suspect I will eventually make a play for a low grade plank.

$ 10,000 cards on want list
 

There are several I would pay that much for, but all are post war

+1

Leon's Young ghost or Matty proof
Triple strike black/brown OM
Johnny's Lake/Bender front ghost.

t206 Plank
E90-1 Jackson

1921 E121 Ruth card

Barn fires? Were you in Manitoulin on the night of November 5, 2012?

I just mean a simple small fire that me and my family can sit around and cook marshmallows and hotdogs.

The only one I can think of off-hand that I might spring that kind of money for is the 1911 Zeenut Bohen (full card)

any hall of famer darby choclates complete box ,,,:)

B18 Ty Cobb Red Infield
1910 Tip Top Honus Wagner

Well, the first three that come to mind are:

N172 Con Doyle.
1921 Tip Top Groves.
N167 Ewing.

T206 Doyle variation (not realistic, they cost $200k);
Kieth Olbermann's T206 Collins proof;
Leon's t206 Mullaney/Cy Young ghost;
and the Merkle/Pirate in the last REA. :D

I thought that tobacco blankets were a rather dead collectible interesting choice. I personally think they are underrated and very neat.

Andrew: probably not the missing color Plank you meant, but here is one.
And I did spend over $10,000 for it. :rolleyes:

Attachment 100069

Since I just got this in the mail (thanks for the quick shipping Rob) I guess this is one....

http://luckeycards.com/pt215piratestreet.jpg

Under the assumption I could hold off on buying lesser cards to actually save enough to pay $10k+ for a card, I would get a 1887 Kalamazoo Pittsburgh Alleghenys team card and a Plank. Since it isn't realistic for me to save money, I would trade these four cards for either one :)

Leon, what did Rob do, drive it directly to your home personally?

z28jd: who is that on the Drum?

Fedex...I was surprised I got it so quickly. I remember one year Rob had something hand delivered to Barry Sloate, and if I recall correctly, only hours after the auction was over. That was pretty funny.

Same here.

Wiltsie pitching...none graded I believe, might be wrong

Any card with a Ruth and Gehrig autograph (probably a 4 on 1). For 10K it would have to have the other 2 also.

T210 Joe Jackson and Casey Stengel in high grade.

I'm digging the E107's lately. I'd take a high end Breisch Williams Plank over the T206 any day.

Not it but if I find the pick of me holding it I will post it.

E107 Matty (probably my favorite card in the hobby)
1914 CJ Cobby (nice mid grade)
T206 Plank

I tried to pay $20,000 for a '33 Goudey Saturday night, but two other bidders kicked me in the balls and then fought it out with each other.

I was discarded :(

This...

Also,

E107 Chief Bender
T208 Chief Bender
E300 WaJo
Rose Co. WaJo

This is a tough question to answer in the abstract. Given a sufficient windfall, I can think of several cards I might pick up, including a CJ Jackson and 52 T Mantle.

1- 1933 goudey lajoie
2- m101 rookie ruth

W600 Honus Wagner in street clothes or uniform - either one :D
E107 Matty

Nelson get the damn 33' Lajoie out of your head! Lol j/k :p

LoL
Ok ok ok :) if i had 10 000 ++. To spend now on a card , my buy will be a rookie Ruth :)

My 10K
 

I'd put $5K to my credit card, then put the other $5K towards my kids' Eductation IRAs. I know that's pretty boring, but that's the way it is at the moment...

Geno

Forgot the green Cobb miscut & Engle/Phillippe miscut.

I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities...

Boston Store Ruth
Rookie Rookie
Boston Store Jackson
A few other Jackson's although I would never spend 200K on a T210

Why did you pick 10K, it's a good sizable number and there aren't a ton of cards that go for more then that on a regular basis.

James G

Excellent card. :)

Which '33 Goudey, Lajoie? Or one of the Ruths?

1910 E271 darby Chocolates - WaJo.
1910 Washington Times - WaJo.
Hi Dan!! :D

Forget the mutual fund, buy a nice ETF instead. :) No management fees. The benefit of mutual funds over ETFs used to be more assets under management, but that gap is narrowing. ETFs trade like stocks, so you don't have to wait until after the end of the trading day to see that NAV calculation.

I might pick a 1915 Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe Jackson as my pre war buy, or a really nice 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle for post war.

I'd travel back to 1909 in a time machine and buy up all the cigarette packs I could with the money, which would be a lot for 10Gs!

Of course the flaw to my plan here is my dependency on a fully functional time machine. Oh and the second flaw would be travelling back to 1909 with 2013 currency. :(

Adrian, got a stash of 1909 coins I could borrow? :D

Let's jump in a Delorean. I can get her up to 88 mph, even loaded up with a little gold. :p I only ask for first dibs on any nice T206 Walter Johnson portrait I find!

Can we make a quick stop in 1916 for some Ruth RCs?

Done!

If you can get us there I'll give you half the Wagners and Planks we find!!! :D

Absolutely, Matt. I don't mind a few extra hops so long as the plutonium holds out! :D

If we can find those, I'd just want one of each for my collection. The rest are yours.
