I think a card looks better when I own it.

Ruth rookieS, Boston Store and Collins McCarthy Ruth, Jackson M101-6. Fortunately, all long ago. The pain has almost worn off--almost. How about you Pete, what is your worst sale ever?

[oldjudge]

Pete-Make me feel better-what are your worst sales?

I sold Hal my '25 Gehrig Exhibit for 10k. I think it resides in a 6 holder now. It was a 5 when I had it though it was obtained raw from a Mastro Auction, for 2700'ish in '97-'98. I think it was described as NRMT-MT when I bought it so I was a little disappointed in the grade.
It was a record sale to Hal at the time though, so I Have that going for me !!

Not sure if i can!!!! Lowdy red cross was by far my worst...as far as selling too early...goidey ruths, m101-6 ruth...im just a minnow!!!

[oldjudge]

That makes me feel a little better. I was hoping you had sold a Baltimore News Ruth for $50 or traded a Wagner for a '68 Volvo.

The worst trade:

1984 Parsippany National: My R316 Gehrig - Lou Gehrig autographed for a Chicago Baseball Currency Note. Even trade.

Today: Gehrig $15K-$20K BB Note $1K.

Gosh Jerry, for me that would be breaking even.
