Experiment: Post a card here you are wiling to sell for $500

[GregMitch34]

Yeah, and was hoping for some obscure issues with hard to judge value to take a flyer on.

This is a really fun thread! I'm one of those folks who has never spent $500 on a single card, but there are definitely cards I'd do that for. So I'm watching this thread with interest...

Morrie, give us a clue...

[GregMitch34]

I could start a $1000 thread if Leon approved--might be fun as people more tempted to pick up fast grand by offering card at a bargain rate of one-of-a-kind whose value is hard to judge....

I'm 387 cards into a t206 set I've been building over the past 20+ years, and my wife's 1940 PB set isn't going to finish itself (but I'm not sure whether $500 is ballpark on anything for the grade she collects).

Best thread in a long time!

I am cool with it.
I don't think we should get too carried away with too many different threads but another could be handled if you want to.

And to all members, Remember it is always caveat emptor and you are at your own financial peril where the board is concerned. (as is usual) There are no safeguards on the board so make sure you vet out your trading partner. Happy collecting..

The main board might need to be renamed soon to include $500 offerings and '52 Mantles.

I'll post my contribution. 1876 Fred Andrus CDV used in the composite for the 1876 White Stockings (not included just for reference). J.K. Stevens Studio. Shipping/Insurance extra.

[GregMitch34]

Note: I have started a similar thread for $1000 cards. And that's as far as it goes!

[frankbmd]

Since no one else seems to have the guts to say it, I will.

Shouldn't these threads be in the B/S/T section of the forum?

A $100 thread might be interesting.

[GregMitch34]

As I said when I launched this--can't seem to do it in BST because this covers all cards and eras....

Agreed one more for $100 would be awesome, there will be constant action I would bet.

[btcarfagno]

Possibly the boldest and most beautiful of all of the Steen signed M101-2's. Just a stunning autograph. The rifle armed catcher died in 1958.

Cant wait until the $100 experiment starts.

[GregMitch34]

Note: Leon is not allowing the $100 experiment--for now. He probably wants to see if everyone plays nice here, first. It seems to be going well, so far, and check the traffic numbers....

And here tomorrow, maybe, as thread launcher, I will "rule" that anyone who has already posted one item that has not sold will now be allowed to post a second....

[7nohitter]

Would love to see the $100 thread! The wife gave me the 'eye' when she saw me looking at the $500 thread!

[sb1]

Hemphill is sold, Howell still available.. Check or money, or paypal

[Zact]

$500

[glynparson]

I'll take the Maris rookie if still available.

[mechanicalman]

This was really fun. Was both a buyer and a seller. I feel like I just orchestrated a three-team trade. Thanks to the OP and Leon for letting it happen.

[kmac32]

Here is and oldie but goodie

[GregMitch34]

Sam ,you can now post another card, as per the rules.

I hope you meant "not" instead of "now". And trust me, it has not one iota to do with board traffic. We get approx. 1.75 million views a month on average so the extra few thousand isn't going to change it much. It's more to do with what I see as problems arising. We can talk about it after these 2 are done.

Thanks,

[GregMitch34]

UPDATE: After three days, as OP, I am now allowing you to post a second card even if the first did not yet sell. But two will be maximum. Choose well (that is, fair or even bargain price on card).

[Luke]

Pair of Sweet Cap 350s with big "Factory 30" numbers. Steinfeldt on the bottom and Rhoades on the right side. $500 + $6 for Priority Mail small flat rate box. Check or MO.

[ullmandds]

I'm all for stimulating activity on the board...but these should be on the bst side...additionally I think the $500 card should be only one card. my .02

[botn]

There are two threads going. What's the big deal? Besides cards are being offered from all sports and every decade. Seems perfectly harmless.
