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.

The big difference with these examples is a Magie or a Lowdermilk or even an Old Judge dog is likely to keep value or gain in 5-10 years. This is more likely to be an expensive coaster in ten years than hold value, with a tiny percentage shot at a payday.

It is pretty silly we pay serious money for cardboard pictures of men.

I don't disagree but everything is relative to collector tastes. Will people still make runs at the T207 set and pay up for Lowdermilk? I don't know. It's semi-popular with collectors of a certain time, but what about the future? Will there still be the same set building mentality?

There definitely isn't a set building mentality in the modern collector.

Or shiny pieces of certain metals, or certain pretty rocks, or the residue an oyster uses to surround a grain of sand.

Or wood sticks men used to strike balls, or the garments they wore when they did so....

It's all relative I guess.

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.

Injury risk is obviously very real but he looked dominant yet again. Won a national championship, first overall pick, and he’s dating one of the most popular social media stars of all time. Pretty high ceiling.

Skenes received a standing ovation last week on the road in St Louis after they pulled him in the 6th inning.
