Nothing for the 7th straight year. The cards I want inevitably seem to go for significantly more than I want to pay, even when (I think anyhow) I'm willing to pay strong.

LOL you'd fit right in on the BST.

LOL but au contraire, I have bought quite a few cards from Board members, and none were discounted by any means. In REA though the cards seem to go into orbit.

Of course it depends on what you want, but as someone who just bargain hunts for resale I loved the two lots I won.

Great Bazooka Mantle. I have seen only one other one that had the tab although I am sure there are others. Speaking of the tab, I wonder why it says the complete set is 9 players when it's something like 23?

Thanks
I have had my eye on these for a long time. I have been an under bidder in the past. I am aware of 3 other 1959 complete boxes with Mantle - could there be another 1 or 2 or 3 - maybe. Regarding the "9 players". Bazooka first issued the set with just 9 Superstar players. Not sure why (presumably because it sold well) they later added 14 more - These are the super tough short prints.

I can confirm that Peter is a very reasonable buyer on the BST board and will pay strong if the card warrants it. However, using a Spaceballs analogy, he will not go up to "ludicrous speed!" I can not say the same for whoever spent $50k more on a Mantle Dice Game card than a decent Ruth rookie, but maybe I just don't get it.

Some very nice items on the board here guys! Wow. I really liked several cards like the blank back Wagners that started the thread and the Mantle Bazooka complete box. Was that a Magie error I saw too? Nice.
