Market flattening definitely

[Orioles1954]

Whenever I buy a card: purchase at a record price
Whenever I sell a card: market is flat

I know the feeling. I am equally good at buying stocks at all time highs.

They would go well with your T206 Cobb/Cobb lucky find cards.

It's just human nature to buy into a rising market, rather than one that is quiet for the time being. I think Steve has selected some very good value Gehrigs for the longer term, as depicted in another current thread.

With all due respect to Lou, that one would have been at its very best a Good 2 (Mk), as it was certainly nowhere near a PSA 5 condition-wise, and was postally used, with a great deal of writing (and not Cobb's) on the back. Hardly a good comparison to the "5" which sold for $10,800+ in 2015, but I would call it a good, astute buy for the long term nonetheless (recently saw that a V351 Williams rookie in 1.5 Fair went for just $500 in a small auction--I would have snapped that one up to go with my Ex+ and considered it a steal for a long term hold had I seen it).

This is the one which didn't go for $10,875.70.
