1000 to spend ?

I've been collecting Sherry Magee cards in hope he will have his day of recognition (besides the whole Magie error). You can usually get them for common pricing. Plus he's the only player I've ever heard of that punched and umpire out cold. Only served 36 games.

Well, his dad did name him Sherry, which is even worse than Sue.

Thanks, good advise.

Of course his given name was Sherwood. I often wondered why he didn't just go by "Woody". Then again....

A $1,000.00, at least card wise, just doesn't buy what it used to just 2 years ago. I remember seeing Hank Aaron and Willie Mays' rookie cards (1s obviously) in this neighborhood just two years ago.

[HistoricNewspapers]

Difficult to get anything good for that price right now.

You want high quality card of a high quality HOFer?

Across all the sports I see one that is still an absolute bargain:

1980 Topps Larry Bird PSA 9, the one without Magic on the other side.

9's are going for just over $1,000 right now.

The 9's with both of them on there are over $50,000+. A PSA 9 Magic Johnson alone is $4,000+.

It doesn't add up. Grab the Bird. Elite HOFer in PSA 9 for that price right now?

This card's main value problem is that Topps apparently triple printed it. Accordingly, the supply is out there. However, how many 7 or 8s are out there?

I mean no offense, and everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, but can you do me a favor and stop the first 500,000 people walking into a baseball stadium this year and ask them if they've ever heard of Sherry Magee? I'm guessing you'd have a hard time finding 5 people who have. And those 5 are likely board members.

That is true but I think it's also true of a guy like Pete Browning or Dummy Hoy and they're both hobby staples.

Diana Taurasi rookie.

Im buying vintage hockey at an alarming rate😘

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

fractional share of a 1990 Fleer Juan Uribe...

[Kevin]

Like Hamilton Tigers and Montreal Maroons vintage?
I saw a pretty one DavidBVintage had up. I really like raw cards, but was considering the plunge because it was of a player from a defunct team.

The Best Wille Mays Regular Issue Topps or Bowman Card a Grand Can Get You...Maybe a very Nice 58 Topps Mays..... I always loved that card....you don't see many nice ones.

That's why I collect them. Borderline HOF player with an interesting story. Often found for $20. Good long term investments for the price, especially if he gets voted in.
That being said, I also got a extensive Bill Donovan and Joe Wood collection, hoping for the same thing.
Worse case you get a 100+ year old card that steadily increases in value.
