The Quest for an Authentic 1909-11 T206 #499 Honus Wagner

but i think this is a very bad idea. we've already determined such a project would take years if not decades to complete and I just don't see people reading this thread for that long. Why don't you try something on a small scale and if it works/is entertaining you could consider relaunching this one. either way i'm not trying to rain on your parade but c'mon dude...

Love that 20/20 video on youtube. Everyone should watch that. From a "Red paper CLip" to a "House" in 14 trades. that is amazing. What you need to do is trade items (like the video) , don't just keep buying cards and reselling over and over.

Think in backwards terms. What would an owner of the Wagner card want in trade ?

Wow! Good Luck. I just wish I could just gain little over 10% per year - consistently. Have another beer. Cheers!

He'll be back in a year, sadder but wiser.

Okay, you can look at it as though I'm trying for a 1986 Donruss Jose Canseco. Better? What's the difference how high I set my goal. If I get to $5,000, did I fail. lol
