Sure, but the reality is that there are a lot of people these days who -- if they don't view cards as outright investments -- are concerned about buying cards that will appreciate in value, or at least retain value. Just how it is.

And I reserve the right to sneer and heap scorn upon them at every opportunity.

I don't understand that mentality at all. If you're comfortable doing it your way why do you care if others do it a different way?

We curmudgeons look at the world "our" way. But keep in mind that I also acknowledge other people's right to snarl right back at me. I'm not one of those "Kumbaya" people. I'm quite comfortable in an environment where everybody is sneering at each other.

Sometimes sneering and scorning seems quite fashionable on here, but no one can top the Judge Landis look of bitter disgust seen in this great photo of him.

I imagine Judge Landis, Queen Victoria and Hetty Green all scowling in unison over high tea, loudly complaining how everything is wrong with everything.

It reminds me of the joke about a waiter in the Catskills serving a table of, with no offense, old Jewish ladies. He asks, was anything OK?

I always wonder if Landis was just perpetually pissed at having literally been named after a land mass / battleground.

Rod Carew is definitely underappreciated! He had a lifetime batting average of .328 with seven batting titles, plus 112 lifetime triples and 353 stolen bases.

I recall reading that his father so named him because he had been wounded in that battle. Better than Sue. Did he go by Ken?

Default Negro leaguers
I still think that most negro leaguers are cheap when you consider the market caps.... I mean think about it... if all 40 Oscar Charleston cards were 100k (which they are not), the total value of all of his (playing career) cards would be $4 million... it is a long, long list of players who are "worth more"...
