Definitely glad to pick this up for my Bradshaw collection. Not high grade, but presents well and I got it at a price I couldn't pass up. I don't worry much about grades since I have no plans to sell. I must admit I pulled the trigger quickly on this as I am afraid the post-war RC craze that is creating super high prices in baseball will be moving soon to football and basketball.

I think it's already here for the Cowboys vintage rookies I try and buy. Take a look at the 1972 Staubach PSA 9 - high water mark was May, 2015 at $4,450. We've had three sell this year now for $14,050, $10,688 and $17,766.

If you look at the PSA 8 of the same card three sold this year in April and May for between $837 and $858. Since then? $1,200, $3,150, $3,049, $2,050, $3,400, $4,250 and $2,358 all in June and July of this year.

This next PWCC auction will contain a 1978 PSA 10 Tony Dorsett rookie (1 of 12) and a 1951 PSA 10 Tom Landry rookie (1 of 2) and I expect them both to blow the doors off previous high sales marks.

On the basketball side, the 1986 Fleer Jordan rookie had been selling consistently for ~$20k until late March of this year. Then we see between 3/24/16 when one sold for $25,300 a fairly straight line (with a few "deals" in between) run up pto the 6/11/2016 sale at $45,000. Followed up 10 days later by a second sale at $43,700 before "coming down to Earth" in the last two sales - veritable bargains at $38,100 and $34,025 respectively.

Be safe out there.

Two hits in the mailbox today via eBay.

First up 1952 Bowman small #144 Jim Lansford RC and the last card in the set. The Standard Catalog NM "value" $250 and this card arrives for $19.25 within my 10% price point. Jim played just one year in the NFL.

1952 Bowman large #67 Richard Logan. Standard Catalog says $60 in NM, and again I'm in under my so called "bar" at $4.95 delivered. Dick played two years in the NFL with the Packers.

Nice pickups Larry. Love your collecting philosophy. I put together my Hank Aaron run with similar condition cards. Cool to own "well-loved" cards that have been enjoyed through the years. Lots of character and history.

Larry, I don't know if you're the cheapest collector on Net54. I think I compete with you for that title.
