That is not the issue here...the issue is the "correct" prices...if there is such a thing.

You're examples are case in point...you paid significantly less for much higher grade...even though a package deal...2 card package isn't really a big package!

Peter I am not saying my 2 card deal is a big package---but these small buys do add up when you do them all the time!!---Last year I purchased a 1952 Topps set with all the stars graded---trust me, it wasnt a small package deal----What I am saying, if you want good stuff, you have to pay the going rate or higher. I buy as a dealer and pay top dollar with a smaller magin when I sell---But If I want nice cards, I pay for them.

I certainly agree if u want quality...you have to pay for it...but in the grand scheme of things a green t206 cobb is pretty common...and they come up pretty often...and this price was unusually high...that's all.

Words of wisdom, right there.
The best cards are always in high demand and bring strong money. If you want them you pay for them. That is why we don't see them all of the time (because collectors keep them). Lot's of stuff circulates. Lot's of the best stuff doesn't.

I agree with donscards and Leon. Based on my experience, sometimes you just have to pay up to get the card you love! If it's truly a special card that you 'need' for one reason or another, you will not have regrets even if it means paying an extra 10% or so...

the only time you regret it is when you try to sell it as you wanted the card more than 'anyone else' so you would be selling now to 'everyone else'
