It's best to remember the new and old card markets are not independent of one another, IMHO. Instead, they are and will be inevitably linked, as today's stars and super stars become yesterday's...

With regard to the latter part of Ben's statement, that's pretty much what I just did in buying my 1955 Exhibits Postcard Back Willie Mays last week. If something you believe to be extremely rare...

My bet would be it would fetch $10 million plus if Marshall decided to put it in a major auction, or even a private sale to the right, extremely well-healed collector.

I think it's good that it is expanding, just as the definition of what is a card is doing. Remember when Cobb's 1907 postcards weren't considered his rookies?

Best to all,

Simple answer: No. I watched him play extensively for the Tigers. A sometimes good, but certainly never great player. His prior ownership adds nothing in terms of pedigree for me.

A bit of correction is due here, I think. First of all, Trout, though he should be in his absolute prime, has not even matched Mantle's THIRD best season in 1961, based on OPS+ (I saw Mantle while...

Truly one heck of a player, whose key cards are really undervalued (when's the last time you even saw his true rookie, the 1956 Kahns?)!

It works either way for me--'66 or '67. Of course, if you want a really tough one, seek out the '56 Kahn's rookie!

Tom, I think that's really great if it works for you! Obviously, you can eventually upgrade when and if the urge strikes. Way to turn a minus into a plus!

Pretty good idea there. Back when I started collecting in the late '80's, even an autograph on the card was considered defacing it. The current trend, is of course just the opposite (although...
