A fair point, Robert, but I never purchase a high-grade unless I'm fairly certain I can resell it for at least what I paid...I've been caught by not sticking to that in the paste, so I usually stick in the EX-5 range for pre-war, 6 or 7 for post-war.

IMO - I agree with the prior post in which it was state that you only held the card in question for two weeks and still made a little...that's almost day-trader planning.

Again, IMO Baseball cards are like stocks in that you frequently have to hold until the time is just right.

My issue is that I frequently buy Baseball cards emotionally, rather than rationally, which is when I get in trouble.


All apologizes to Gabby Harnett fans out there.
