Experiment continues: Post a card for sale for exactly $1000

Didn't know if it would fly but Leon approved and it has proven very popular and at least half a dozen or more cards have already sold.

So now: same idea for $1000 (plus shipping) cards. Again, you can only post one unless you sell that one. At that price perhaps a few more cool, obscure or big risk/big reward cards will be posted. (I suppose you can offer TWO cards for $1000 for that's the limit.) I have to decide what I will post but you can fire away now....

As soon as you posted the $500 thread and I saw cards moving I thought we should have one for $100, $500 and $1000. You should start one for $100 too. that will get a ton of action I bet. By the way this is a great idea and keeps people continually checking the site in my opinion. I'd start the $100 thread myself but can't post pictures well (my scan always show up tiny in size here for some reason).

Lets leave it at 2 threads for now. After these have played out a while we can think about others. But 2 (actively going) at once is enough on the front page, imo. I am almost always open to debate though. Thanks to everyone for keeping it fun....so far.

As OP, I will say this has probably run its course, if Leon wants to consider a variation, or decide it fizzled in the end. But anyone interested should take a look at all the offers and then move on if you wish....

Maybe you can add a $100 - $500 - $1000 sections in the BTS area of the forum?

There are too many sections already and I seriously doubt others get added for something with limited appeal. The BST's rock the way they are. These threads were fun and have run their course. Happy collecting........

[Billy5858]

Fun while it kinda lasted

Onward!

Yeah. I am, and I would guess, alot of other members are $100 Tier guys. I would be active there for sure.

But I am enjoying watching these two threads. Great idea by the OP.

And, although not a player, I find myself checking out the threads 3-5 times a day. Just to see. Very enjoyable.

I would need a $10 thread. If we get one of those count me in.
