In all fairness he did make me a very good offer but with the holidays on the horizon I can't bring Phenomenal home at this time. Too rich for me right now but I am sharing his auction on FB and to my friends and hopefully someone with more cash or less mortgage will bite

Well best of luck. I know paypal has credit available. I don't know if you've considered that but you may be able to make payments through them and spend only what you'd be paying for t206 commons each month. I've found having a couple "dream cards" more satisfying than adding a higher volume of less expensive cards.

Ok, so I had to look this guy up. Found this blog. Pretty interesting.

Great read, thanks for the research and share.

I only have two Old Judge cards, but I really dig them and have them prominently displayed.

Good luck getting your card, I wish you the best!

Rhett- the comments about the card weren't personal. It's a light photo but still a nice Old Judge. Not one of us will look that good when we are that age. As for what type condition to collect, it's an individual choice we all make. I remember asking Yoda (hi John), around 15-17 yrs ago, which I should collect, higher grade or more quantity? Then I bought his E102 Cobby in about fr-gd condition. I had that card a long time and loved it just the same as I do the other higher grade cards I have had. Personally, I would rather collect low grade cards that are presentable and nice looking. To each their own. Happy collecting!!

Rhett--I was responding to Brent's question about Phenominal Smith rarity. As I said, the portrait is rare, the other poses are not. I stand by what I said.

Leon and Jay, totally understand and don't really have any problem with each comment in the thread at all and feel the same way as many do about light old judge cards. That being said I just got a negative vibe from the comments and didn't even realize it was about a card I was selling until later. Honestly I was probably just in a grumpy mood or something but it seemed like people were almost putting down a card someone was fairly passionate about so it rubbed me the wrong way. Again, I feel the same way as most that responded I just think we get a little too negative and possibly a bit snobbish sometimes around here and it can be off-putting to others (I'm probably as guilty as anyone since I kinda can't stand T206 cards! )
