Just So Tobacco Cards

Simply an incredible find. And a bargain if the Burkett only brought in the 40K range. I know someone who paid that much for a W600 Burkett.

Yeah 40k sounds too low
Incredible find
Maybe there's another Cy out there waiting to be found

Great find!! I love hearing about new discoveries/finds like this.

It would be great if a new Just So Cy Young in out there somewhere. Odds are there probably is.

My hunch is that it sold for 62.5 after negotiation. Cy Young would be a great find and would be nice to see it in an auction.

62.5 is entirely possible and wouldn't surprise me. A hundred k at auction wouldn't surprise me....We all know a few folks who would have been interested in bidding.

Amazing how the words "bargain" and "steal" come up in conversations where the price of a baseball card is the same as a new car, hefty down payment on a house or the yearly (or more, sometimes WAY more) salary for the average joe. This is what I don't like about what this hobby is becoming, the playground of the uber rich. More power to you if you can afford it, but don't say 60K is a bargain, you may alienate more people than you think.
Just my 2 cents, take or leave it.

I didn't mean to alienate anyone, and I'm not buying any 40K or 60K cards myself. I meant only that it was a "bargain" compared to the W600 Burkett. I think most people would prefer the Just So Burkett to a W600 Burkett many times over.
