Let's welcome Charlie Barokas to the Billion Dollar Fraud!

[the 'stache]

Before I go throw up, anybody want to end this craziness, and just give us a working definition of "waterfront"? I've been here a while, and have never heard of the term, either. And a quick search of the term on Google and our forum yields several results, but no definition. Or, is this an ongoing inside joke, like Snipe hunting?

It seems, on first glance, to refer to ultra in demand cards in highest condition. That would make sense, as oceanfront property is typically the creme de la creme. Just looking back at the last 50 some years, this would include the Joe Namath '65 Topps rookie, a '79 Wayne Gretzky rookie (the Canadian Oh-Pee-Chee issue), the '86 Fleer Michael Jordan, whatever the most in demand rookie card for Tom Brady would be-maybe the 2000 Playoff Contenders with the on card certified auto. That's one I saw a lot when I started prospecting. What else? The Jeter '93 Upper Deck SP foil card in prime condition goes for a ridiculous amount. I expect the 2009 Mike Trout Bowman Chrome certified auto moves into that category, eventually. I feel like such an idiot having sold mine, but medical bills don't allow one to be sentimental. Going back a bit further, the '52 Topps Mantle and Mays obviously. '54 Topps rookie for Aaron, '55 for Clemente. The '48 Leaf Jackie Robinson rookie. '51 Parkhurst Gordie Howe, whatever Bobby Orr's rookie might be. '58 Topps Jim Brown, '57 Topps Starr and Unitas.

What else?

If we go back to the era(s) we all love and collect, we're looking at the E90-1 American Caramel Shoeless Joe Jackson, the Wagner T206, the '33 Goudey Lajoie, the '39 Play Ball Ted Williams. Ruth's rookie (I forget, the '16 Famous & Barr?), various Cobb T206 cards, portraits as well as on/off shoulder varieties, the Walter Johnson portrait, '35 National Chicle Nagurski, Ruth and Gehrig Goudey cards, the Cracker Jack issues of Christy Matthewson, Johnson, Jackson-especially the '14 releases which are ultra condition sensitive.

Somebody just clarify for us, please.

I would think there are waterfront and there are waterfront. The ruth rookie etc is not something most of the community can afford or even afford to invest in but i i think a 10k card many more can, i would define a waterfront card as a card many people have had in their collection or a chance to get at one time or another....i know i never had a chance to get an T206 wagner but i did on some goudey ruth's etc.

.this was a quote i had about the green cobb being a waterfront card..



Default PWCC green cobb psa 5.5 going through the roof
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-11-T206...4AAOSw9mFWMm5z

bidding over $14,000 which has to be way over SMR... when I had two PSA 4s nicely centered Green cobbs..all I would hear about is SMR this and SMR that....

the waterfront properties really taking off...!

Home on the waterfront .

There are no damages so you can't add it to the billion dollar fraud, sorry. Doesn't count. No one has to pay.

It looks like our very own Desert Ice Sports is being looked into next as the possible addition to the "PSA Cavalcade of Stars". Something fishy there, they say?

Attention" ALL LEGAL morons, you know who you are...Please keep submitting cards and waiting 5 months for it to pop like an imbecile so we can keep this fine company in business. They react so well to the collector in everything they do to stop fraud. Newsflash: They are corrupt to the core. It is obvious to anyone with a sliver of a brain, like myself. har har harde har har. The joke is on ALL OF US.

Another great job by BODA!

Still trying to figure out from this post if I am a legal or illegal moron. By most accounts, I am at least some type of moron

Eric, all Hawkeyes are illegal morons.

Love,

LOL! People usually pay no attention to me, but it looks like BODA did read my earlier posts! They wrote the following:

Did You Win This $27,600 "Waterfront" Satchel Paige Card in REA's December Auction?

Oh no, not a Waterfront card!

Too funny! And yes, that Satchel Paige SP RC definitely is a waterfront card! Nice catch, guys!
