I guess this is the part of the show where guys take snide online pot shots at how another man spends his hard-earned money, as if what they would choose to spend that man's money on is so much— somehow— better.

I'm certainly the type of collector who would prefer to pay a premium for a centered 4 with eye appeal over whatever a 60/40 Gem Mt 10 would cost— but I also think it's poor form to take time from my day to rain on someone's parade if they bought something I wouldn't. End of the day it's another fellow collector/card enthusiast and rather than insulting him we should hope the gentleman is happy with his new card.

i don't care how much and how you earned your hard earned money ...spending 28K on a card like that is just plain stupid! And I'll say it again and again and again!

Stupid based on what criteria? Maybe the guy loved the card. Or if he's a flipper, maybe he makes a successful sale. In which case to him it wasn't stupid at all.

In terms of personal collecting preference and choices, we are probably in perfect agreement on the Musial 10 in question, yet why the need to insult a fellow collector?

Please post up some of your card purchases so they can be evaluated in kind.

you're right...no point is arguing or demeaning others for how they choose to spend their money. not my kind of card...nor the way I choose to collect...to each their own...live and let live. i will post a recent purchase for you guys soon to rip to threads!

[ullmandds]

Here is a recent addition to my armpit collection. Tear me apart...I can take it!

It's an e90-1 btw.

I will start, Pete you paid too much and what is it? It doesnt sparkle and I can't find that guy on any current roster, does he even still play?

[T205 GB]

Pete we should start a Roast me thread. People can Post picks of a single card and we can tell them how they should have better spent their money and time. Actually keep an eye out because I am going to get it going

BTW the centering on that Sh!tty Wags card is about as off as your personality!

Pete,

Need to know what you paid to really tear that Wags to shreds— though someone clearly already got to it pretty good.

I have to run to work, but I will try and write up some quality withering invective for you by end of day

Just joshing of course. My kind of card if gotten at an easy price.

* Though in the spirit of the usual online discourse, those 4 somewhat equally rounded corners are a telltale sign of an artificially aged reprint!

Once upon a time, someone bought a Wagner for around that figure, and someone said the same thing.

And they were right, look where Bill (he paid 25, right?) ended up.

Bill's mistake is that he didn't buy the Jumbo Wagner.

not looking so good for the purchaser of this musial if I do say so.
