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.

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

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.

Andrew: probably not the missing color Plank you meant, but here is one.
And I did spend over $10,000 for it. scan0038.jpg |

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

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.

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

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)

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

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

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'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? |

Take me! I have plenty of pre-1910 coins we could use. Heck I have actual dollar bills and silver dollars! We can even stock up on Brooklyn Atlantics cards with this 1865 fortune...$0.16!
