Which Would You Rather Have?

This is clearly an example of people buying the holder and not the card. I don't see how that is a "10."

Why did the Johnny Moore sell for so much? I see other examples online for much cheaper?

I don't even know who Johnny Moore is, and I follow NBA basketball. Why did somebody pay so much for it? I don't think he was a star.

He's a U. of Texas ex.

Being a U. of Texas ex myself, I'd go for the ..... Jackson. Duh!

He is a guy with a card that will get some fortunate collector 1 point higher on a registry.

Or more depending how the card is weighted

I actually looked him up, not knowing anything about basketball and the Spurs retired his number, but I agree, doubt the collector was motivated by anything but the registry.

The real question is were these PWCC auctions and where they labeled as "Nice for the grade" ???

With that Moore card I would be concerned that there are probably thousands of ungraded cards lying around in various collections or unopened packs and boxes. How much is the value going to drop if another 10 cards get the PSA 10 grade? Or another 20?

A few months ago I saw an unopened 86 fleer case for sale on Ebay for $300k. Were someone to break and grade the entire case I'm sure they'd find at least a few Moore 10s.

While this is completely ridiculous, I doubt the person who paid that much for the Moore has to worry about buying "this or that". He probably can buy this, and that.

It's also an example of some damn fool having more money than brains (a situation not necessarily abhorrent to me--I'd be willing to try it out, for a change)!

May your collecting be one of the greatest treasures of your life!

We all collect in different ways. And that is probably a good thing!!
