hankronFor many collectors on normal budgets, owning a 1933 Goudey Ruth or 52 Topps Mantle is normally out of what they can expect to afford. When a very rough example comes along within their price range, it's nothing to sneeze at.
I've had a few chew toy Goudey Gehrigs and Ruths that I had no trouble selling at a good price, as it was a chance for the collectors to obtain one of their dream cards.
Many Net54 board members would act simularly if it was a Peck & Snyder Reds or N173 Dogs Head.
