This occurred to me last night--I certainly wouldn't trade my 1907 Fielding Pose Cobb or 1907 Wolverine News Cobb, nor my 1939 V351 Ted Williams for it. Might be too tough to replace those. Wander what Orly would say about his magnificant Cobb collection vs this card? Of course, that's just me and my preference for really rare, period, rather than a condition rarity, where thousands of other lesser examples of the card exist. But good luck to Evan--hope it does really, really well! Sometimes it is time to cash in!

May collecting bring you happiness, in any shape or form,

Larry

Why is it, "vs." ?

A gorgeous card is simply for sale. It is not playing a baseball game or MMA match against any other card or cards.

Why is it not? A question of collecting priorities always factors into a decision to buy one card over another, to keep one card over another, and into determining the large picture goals of your collecting. Unless, that is, a collector simply buys cards at random, and I don't think there are many of those in our hobby. So certainly my last post posed an interesting philosophic question within the collecting context.

Regards,

Larry

Is it always "or?"
Is it never "and?"

What’s the meaning is, or what the meaning of or is.

That is the question.

Maybe 'can't remember the guy's name' can trade his Mark McGuire 70th Homerun Ball for it?

Some really serious thinking going on....NOT!
