With modern you never know if someone is getting injured or catching charges, I guess thats the gamble though.

Personally, I feel much safer buying a 1914 CJ Jackson for the same price as a guy who played 4 games but that's just me.

Obviously, there's additional risk when you need to project a player's career, rather than waiting until they've retired. And sure, a lot of people seem to over-estimate what will happen, driving up prices a bit.

But when I see right here in the BST section that you need to pay $6,000 for a 1-of-1 card of Herbie Moran, an outfielder who ended with 2 career home runs (and it's not even autographed), $80k for Skenes doesn't seem so bad.

Yea, that's just crazy in my opinion when you can buy a 1907 Dietsche Cobb for the same amount, but to each their own.

I think we should recognize that there are equally as nutty valuations in pre-war. I'm sure a modern collector will have just as big laugh on a guy who spends a few thousand bucks on a Louis Lowdermilk T207. He of his 4 and 5 career record.

Don�t forget the huge price difference depending on what cigarette brand happens to be on the back of a card.

Or the other esoteric value indicators like a dog being pictured on an Art Whitney Old Judge. Always going to cost you a few hundred dollars more to own that dog.

Or "Magie" vs. "Magee"

Or Bill O’Hara in a Cardinals uniform. He had 88 career hits and will cost you more than a few HOFers will combined. All for those 9 games he played for the Cards.

Likewise the mascot on the OJ Ewing and mascot. Surely the mascot should receive more of a premium than the dog, unless the pooch happens to be Lassie.

Think of the marginal dollars that have traded hands due to John Titus' facial hair.
