What is a baseball card worth?

I voted for 20 to 100k and took your question to mean how much would I risk to purchase a card with the thought to sell it at some point in the future. Since I'm primarily interested in T206s and a Wagner is most likely forever out of reach it falls to the Plank. I could at some point see myself spending what was necessary to buy a lower grade specimen with the thinking being prices would hold up due to probable future demand.

Thanks but you've misunderstood the question. It is how much would you pay knowing you could NEVER get your money back by selling at a future time

In that case zero, it's a piece of cardboard.

+1 I thought the same thing. Maybe a few bucks for artistic value.

I've only ever sold one baseball card. Maybe I'll sell a few more here and there, but pretty much, if a card is in my collection, it's never going to leave.

So, to me, this question amounts to "how much would you spend on a baseball card?"
