So you have $1.3 million burning a hole in your pocket

How many fake Doyles have got past the grading services, I wonder.

I can live in real estate, I cannot live in cards or a bat. Frankly the real estate would solve my biggest problem at the moment. So I choose the final choice.

[Touch'EmAll]

Depends. Assume you have a primary residence. Would you be looking to upgrade your primary residence ? Do you have or want a 2nd vacation home ? Or how about buying a rental ?

Also depends on your age. How close to retirement are you ? If close to retirement, would you be looking to sell your current primary residence ? If you are younger, a long-term rental would make sense if your goal is investment.

Also depends on your family. Are you married, have kids, if so how many ? How much would they appreciate a vacation home ?

And not all real estate would cost 1.3 million. What about location. Would you be looking for a cabin in the mountains? A house on a Lake or River (fishing?). A house near the beach? A rental in your basic town may not be glamorous, but would be convenient.

If it were to be a second vacation home, would you actually spend decent amount of time there, or just an odd long weekend occasionally.

Like someone already said, be careful of the extra costs - property taxes, outfitting the house, repairs & maintenance.

If you just want easy street and not the hassles and extra expenses of a second home, then look at your desired cards.

If it were me, I would consider a second home in Maupin (with central a/c & heat) with a view of the Deschutes River. I love fishing and fly fishing in particular, and Maupin is close enough to get to nice higher elevation lakes out of Bend, OR. If money left over, be looking at a really nice Ruth card.

At least 1 did.

I thought there was a PSA 6 or something where it was discovered to be fake but the owner declined to sell it back to them?

Hopefully they at least updated the database to invalidate that cert.

Olbermann bought a fake that SGC had slabbed (10 or 20 or something low like that). I don’t know about a PSA 6 fake.
