Insane Babe Ruth card on Ebay

I'd be concerned you won't be able to pay up on a bet. Shouldn't you be trying to bet people at $100-$150K instead of $75K? $75K graded is within the realm of appropriate inflation over past 2 sales.

If you want to gamble, should have asked mommy and daddy for that loan and bought the card instead of your bragging bullshit.

When have I ever once bragged about money? You guys are the only ones that keep taking about my finances. Mind your own business.

I offer to place bets with people when we are in a disagreement about something that will have a definitive future outcome. Saying "I'll bet you $1k that x will happen" is not a flex of one's net worth. It is a prop bet.

.... There is a transcript... in the order things were said and by who.... Go read this very thread in order. You talk yourself up all the time and then try to throw down cash to somehow prove your view is right in a bet; you've done it every time we've disagreed. Every time you brag about your gambling income and betting money, as I recall from the bizarre lefty thread. You brought up amidst your bragging here that you couldn't afford the card, but then try to get multiple people to bet $1,000 or more (you asked for them to raise it). It's really weird.

I have given little view on the actual valuation of the item; just that your insults to people who didn't agree with your guesstimate (that it is "almost certainly" $100K minimum and up to $150K, not the much lower and more likely figure you want to bet on now) are just being a dick, as your valuation is based on a $59K sale of a graded 2 now being double to triple that. Which is a guess, maybe you're right, but it's not some special math formula you have, that's just a guess, while you were shitting on others for doing the same. I have no interest in betting on an auction that does not even exist with you. Your constant fixation with wagers that apparently constitute a high % of your money is bizarre. I'm not going to put down $1K or $10K for someone else to hold in escrow for months while we wait to see if an auction that does not even exist comes to be. That makes sense too nobody but a gambling addict. That is horrible money management. There is nothing to bet on here, you just always go this route when you got nothing else.

I like most Ruth cards but I just think those cards are ugly, not as ugly as most of his strip cards, but still ugly. I would rather have a comparably valued E121 any time.

The card does not do a whole lot for me either but because it is one that is not seen as frequently as most, it has some appeal. I agree that the E121 pitching pose is far nicer looking.

I thought I recognized the other common in the box of cards that "was not included in this auction"...... and it hit me that I might have it! I found it in a box of stuff from 40 years ago with a price tag of $8 still on it! Back is skinned like it came out of a scrapbook........

I now have the feeling your were the seller of the Ruth card...your Ferrell also came in a box of stuff. Coincidence?

Just joking! Uncle Jacks are not readily available, so congrats on the rediscovery.
