Demmitt St.Louis in Huggins&Scott

[Mikehealer]

Jake- seems like asking what a g/vg example is worth would suffice.

I bet a mil would take it. I'd bid that much to be sure.

I hate t206's but I think I want that demmitt...there's something about it?!?!

Great post to find the next great comodian of Net54 !!

Pretty sure I saw one on our own b/s/t for a reasonable price. No fees or stress and you can probably negotiate for it. That is if it's still available and you are ok with a lesser condition example for your collection.

I am appalled by a lot of the posts to my thread.Especially JLighter , Mike healer, and Mathew H. I must thank Orioles1954 for backing me up/ I enjoy looking at other's cards and collections. And then talking to some of you guys. But to accuse me of being the consigner of this lot to raise a bid, and then insult me by saying it goes for 50K disgusts me. I enjoy coming home from a hard days work and looking at great old cards as relaxation-not to have this kind of BS thrown at me. I asked a very simple question and get this nonsense? I have been collercting since 1973 and now find myself able to afford this card, and just wanted a range of where you would think it would be. Nothing more than just a simple question. I don't get it. I hoped for an adult conversation here, and get BS responses and accusations. I am so pissed off I must stop rambling now.
Leon? Any idea why this happens?

Sorry that you feel offended. It just seemed odd that you made it very specific. As if you were asking people to bid on it. It might have just been easier to post a picture of it, unless of course you like paying more at auctions.

[Matthew H]

I wasn't trying to offend you. I think stuff comes off more mean spirited behind text on a screen. I tend to joke my way through life, sorry about that.

Go to vintagecardprices.com and pay 3.99 and see all the past sales. Trust me, it's better them alerting all of your competition about what's for sale. If you don't want I subscribe. PM me and I'll check the site for you.

Over the years we have had countless people come on the board and post about current auctions of their OWN items in order to get more publicity. Very few people, including myself, want to draw MORE attention to something we have a serious interest in, in a current auction. If you look back at the very recent S74 Cobby thread I started you will note that I overpaid for an item that was sold very recently in a Huggins and Scott Auction. I watch their auctions very closely but just missed that silk. So, saying it's in a public auction and will be seen anyway is not always the case. Hope this answers your question. I wouldn't get too upset at what the board was collectively thinking concerning your post. The reactions were quite normal, historically speaking, and I don't think were necessarily targeted at you personally (though of course it is your thread, it is more a general reaction to this type of post).

That's a great website.

I came off strong on my post because this 51 year old guy who has been a serious collector since age 12 was surprised at the answers.Leon informed me about things that happen to drive auction prices up. I truly did not know that posts go up to increase a consigners bid. Oriole1954 confirmed I am not the consigner. Anyway. I thank everyone for their advice, websites,etc. And this is a big thumbs up to the guys I mentioned in my rant.Everyone I mentioned has come back to me and explained their post-to my satisfaction.
