How much would you pay?
For the sake of this poll, I'm going with a '33 Goudey Ruth, PSA 5. Which of the 4 Ruths doesn't matter for this exercise, nor does the strength of the grade. Assume we all agree that it has a current "market value" is $5k.
I've been thinking about the prices some cards have gotten to lately and the psychology that goes along with them. I'm curious to know what you would all pay for said Ruth if it carried zero resale value. I'm interested in what percentage of the prices we pay are justified in our brains by the fact that we can always resell it if we need to. However, if a card had zero resale value, much like a pair of used socks, how much would you pay strictly for the joy of owning it.
