I agree that the Play Ball card of Joe Jackson is the most overvalued - and for the same reason, several others from that set as well (players appearing far outside of their careers - kind of like the current tribute card frenzy)

I have craved that Zeenut Halla card ever since the first time I saw it a few years ago...and since I have spent a lot to get the other cards I always wanted, that would be at the top of my list.

Obak card of "Ten Million". Family convinced his mother and father to name him ten, as a nice play on their surname (million) so that his name would stand out.

See pic (not my pic or my card) and this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Million

Hey, that's my card!.

I really like the Ten Million, and felt compelled to get one after seeking out the Obak building in Portland (using Mark McRae's directions, and following a nice lesson on PCL/NWL, etc). In addition to the cool name, I think it's a very nice looking card and like so many other T212s, has some funky cool background colors. I guess I agree with the others that it's value is probably a bit inflated, but for my sake I hope it stays there!

.. As far as over hyped, chalk up another vote for Titus... And 100% agree on post career cards like the PB Jackson. I'll add another to that list- 1932 US Caramel Ty Cobb.

At least Magie is a true error and not just a printing issue.

I agree with you - cool name, and a handsome looking card. The rich, deep red background is quite appealing.

'33-34 Goudey Lajoie--it really only has a tradition of mystique going for it. It's not a card issued contemporaneously with his playing days, but instead long after those were over, and its simply not all that rare (last time I checked, PSA had graded 80-some).

Best wishes,

Larry
