The $1,000 Question

[alywa]

If a $1000 Red Cobb T206 could be purchased these days that had any sort of presentable characteristics, I'd give that my vote. Given what I've been seeing, I'd vote for a 1933 or 34 Goudey Gehrig, PSA or SGC 1.

I guess it would be fun to play "Best $1,000 card on eBay right now"

1992 Little Sun Derek Jeter Auto card. 225 were made and is very desirable as his stuff will only gain in value.

A T3 Chief Bender. I'd gladly retire from the hobby after buying that one.

[SetBuilder]

I'm winning so far. I "bought" by far the most high end card for $1,000.

[rats60]

I would buy a Honus Wagner Carmel Card, a presentable 1 or A. E95 would be my 1st choice, but E92 are pretty easily available for 1k.

Around 20 years ago I bought a raw but very nice Dockman Cy Young at a show in Raleigh, NC for around $500. Not knowing much about prewar, as well as being somewhat younger and stupider, I somehow convinced myself shortly after buying it that the card was trimmed, so I sold it for probably a bit less than I paid for it. Less than a year later I saw the same card (I could tell from the attributes it was the exact one I had...) in a PSA 5 slab for sale on eBay.

So yeah, that was a few dollars lost...

A 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth in 1 or A condition.

How about this card on ebay under 1k ? Cobb with Jennings ( 2 HOFers with the middle showing Cobb stealing )https://www.ebay.com/itm/T202-Cobb-J...sEd:rk:15:pf:0

That is a nice pick for a series that gets little love.

Question was pre-42. And where are you getting them for 1000, this one sold recently for 7K.

Fun card, Jay, but not vintage...

This one recently sold for $1050 so they can still be found.

Oh, this is a fun game. I'd buy either one of these (both of which have recently sold on ebay for under $1000):

R309-1 Goudey Premium Babe Ruth - best-presenting “1” or “1.5” that I could find.

The most famous baseball player, and in a classic photo. Instant recognition even from many non-baseball fans.
