What Would You Rather Have?

[usernamealreadytaken]

Odd that members of a pre-WW2 baseball card message board would chose a pre-WW2 baseball card over a post-WW2 basketball card...

Would you guys prefer a Baltimore News Ruth or a comparably valued copy of Superman #1?😐

The point of this thread was not really to poll the board for their preference, but to point out something ridiculous.

Dunno about you guys...but I'd much rather have one of the highest graded gretzky rookie cards as opposed to collector graded cards of the following:

t206 plank
run of practically every period ruth card ever made
mantle rookies(both)
gehrig rookie
ramly wajo
cj cobb
t206 hof run
cj hof run(14 and 15)
shall I keep going?

Sounds like Pete should move to Canada and search for a Hockey Card forum

This isn't a really good comparison. You are asking about classic items from their respective hobbies. The OP was comparing a high population item from the modern era of the same hobby with a classic card in the same hobby.

A better comparison would be a Low Grade 1939 Superman #2 or a High Grade 2003 Walking Dead #1. They go for about the same price and compare two separate eras of the same hobby. FWIW I would take the #2 Superman.
