I wanted the card. I bought the card. And it's sitting at my desk at work, even if apparently I overpaid for it. You know as well as I do that there wasn't alot of those Tinker/Evers/chance T202's there, so I bought it.
some dude thinks I paid too mich, and you call me "public." Ha

The Tinker/Evers/Chance is arguably the most popular card in the set - more liquid than the Cobbs. You did not overpay by any stretch - great looking card. I would have been glad to bring it home with me, but was glad it went to a Cubs fan, it's not a card I collect, the comment of $50-$100 was laughable - I'd pay $200 wholesale all day. It''s not of matter if I like it or not; that's the market. I think "Public" is a cool nickname.

I dont plan on selling it even during my lifetime to overpay underpay is sort of irrelevant at that price. as long as I can still feed my kid. I was giving you all a hard time. I wasnt even remotely bothered--more educated by relative and perceived value.

The vcp meter broke after I paid up for this one but just couldn't resist the centering, registration and lack of print lines or back wax stains. Take avg vcp and multiply by 2. Did I get a good deal? Only time will be the judge (like 40 years) lol.

Just get someone who grades a lot with PSA to send it in and it will come back a 5. That is a beautiful card and undergraded. I think you got a deal.

That's a great looking '51 Mick! Definitely a premium card. Congrats AJ!

Nice AJ. I had to ignore vcp data when picking up mine too. Was that the one at Evan's table?

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Yes it was! Looks like you got his 5! Wow buddy great looking card. Congrats. He had some amazing looking cards in his case including a psa 7 Bowman and 52 Mantle psa 9. Wowza

No I got this one a while back from Matt. But yea he had some great stuff. Best centering I've seen on a star 101 Jordan. That 52 and 53 Mantle weren't bad either.

Basically I think John showed Bobby he was wrong regardless of his thoughts and wether it was dickish or not. It was shown to be incorrect unless you think having 90 in the Cobb is a lot.
