If you had 100k to build a collection...
What would it look like?
|
#2
|
|||
|
|||
PSA 4-5 T206 HOF subset minus Wags and Plank.
|
#3
|
|||
|
|||
First card would be a relatively high grade 1947 Bond Bread Robinson portrait card, then maybe the Leaf for the heck of it

I'd probably focus on just one T206 back subset that has some difficulty in finding the cards. Something like Cycles, American Beauty's, Old Mill's, EPDG's, or Tolstoi's. There's no fun in just buying something easy over night and being done with the project. I'd maybe be satisfied for a week with my purchase. I'd rather have to search cards out over time to build a very special rare collection that maybe one or two people have done or come close to completing. But that's how my brain works. I've built custom cars and I enjoy the build more than the completion.

I'd see if I could get a home and road flannel for each team from the 1960-1968 era. Colts would be too difficult but Astros would be possible. I'd try to avoid vests by getting early Indians, A's and late Reds (road) shirts, but with Pirates there wouldn't be much choice. What a fantastic display that would make, and game flannels are scarcer than most cards, or GU bats.

Yeah... screw that 4 Million Dollar Trout Card!
I would stick with "vintage", and spend the $100K to own 1/25th of a '53 Topps Mantle. |

Pre 1930 low grade super star HOFers. Lots and lots of them.
Q: What's better than 3 low grade T206 Walter Johnson Portraits? A: 4 low grade T206 Walter Johnson Portraits. |

Definitely no card purchases for me if I suddenly had $100,000.
Like Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue, I would take the money and run.... quickly. |

Maybe you could go after the HOLY GRAIL. A Trout rookie printer's plate proof card.

Given all the wrinkles and hairline creases the low grade would really ding the value.

Just curious has she ever seen your collection?
Does she know your budget on your collection?
