N28s are probably one of the more prevalent of the 19th century issues. They are not rare in the way of availability. I suppose if you want to use "rare" you could assign it to condition. Even then, I'm not too sure that great condition examples of N28 BB HOFers are rare, they are however, desireable. |

If the buy and sell prices are at good prices for the items, the exchange would on the face of it appear reasonable (I didn't say perfect). |

If you don't use the watch and want to sell it, fine. And if you collect baseball cards, fine. |

i do things like that often. A few years ago I sold a t206 w/drum back to buy a leather recliner...which my kitty Otto proceeded to chew up. I later sold the recliner to my buddy for $320...do I have regrets? No! I paid $30 for the card. |

One could look at it this way. Board members will tell you about what's deficient and problematic about investing in early baseball cards-- all which is probably true--, but none will claim that putting the money in watches is a better investment. |

I know we aren't supposed to collect cards as an investment but I did sell shares of Microsoft and put in a little cash in order to buy my Four Base Hits Kelly, about 5-6 yrs ago........Probably not too stupid looking back on it...But I would agree that in general you should collect for the fun of it....I do....(ditch the watch and buy the cards )..... |

My watch has the flaps torn off from stepping on it too many times, and, when I couldn't figure out how to turn off the hourly beep, had to put it under a pile of laundry so I could sleep at night. So I won't pretend to be the board watch expert. |

all 3 really nice watches, buy a $25.00 timex and blow the rest on cards.......no-brainer........the time is the same on any watch you wear......you'd look much better with an old judge strapped to you than some shiny bobble....... |

As a person who collects to collect, I won't lie to you and tell you that I don't think of cards as an investment. It's in the back of my mind and do consider them so. Like Leon, I have sold stocks to purchase cards and looking back, it was a sound choice as my stock portfolio has increased 6.5% over the last fourteen months (solid stocks, JNJ, PEP, SHL, PAYX etc.). |

IMO, watches and cards are both poor investments. Watches are a bit more stable, but they have little upside because the companies are always producing a better version of your watch. Unless you go into the vintage and unique watch market, your watch is not an investment. Cards on the other hand are incredibly volatile and some think they are at its peak and are calling for a major shock to the system soon. Who knows if they are right or wrong...but the risk is definitely there. |

Wow! I didn't expect so many great replies. I have decided to sell the watch. I am sure I can get 3K for it. But I will not blow the whole 3K on cards. I'll probably get an N28 HOFer to go along with my N28 Glasscock. I'll stick the rest of the cash in my savings. |

Believe it or not, but I sold an Accordian that I bought with paper route money when I was a kid. Sold it in the 70's to buy some cards. |

I am with you on that drc1. The clock in my vehicle is one hour off for half of the year, but then around Spring it gets right again. |
