Broad Leaf 460 Question/Speculation

[Leon]

C'mon guys. If you have to pester him, can you do it privately? They guy just asked a question. I see no need for an interrogation. I would hope every time I say something on the board I don't have to prove it (not that I can't but I just don't want to live like that). And yes I get the whole situation but still......If you can help with an answer to his question then great. If not, then please ask other questions of him by PM....regards

edited to add that I have seen much stranger things than a BL460 "find" happen....though I haven't seen one of them (yet) it still wouldn't knock me out of my chair. The W cards in Lew's auction were something I had never seen before...so it happens.

I keep a pretty close watch for them and I have yet to see another
Young of any pose with a BL460 reverse. Also, have not seen another
BL460 in that high a grade. Not sayiing there is not a 6 or better out
there somewhere, I guess there might be but you may have to wait a
lifetime to see it surface.

JP.....Good luck finding a bl460. I deleted and edited my post because this does not need to go to the top again and your questions do not make any sense to me. I truly hope the poluation of Cy Young's does not double overnight. You are right.....someone could find a barn full of these and then Young's value would drop.

I would rather have the Johnson BL 460, but nice card! If I was a BIG dollar flipper, I think it would be more profitable to work in lower grade commons and buy more.
I like my backs with HOFers on front, but that is not the case with most folks, from what I have gathered.
I do hate seeing cards go to folks that do not truely love them though, but then again, I hate selling to a friend of mine that has not gotten rid of a card in 40 years.
Happy Easter,
Bob

Actually, I DO realize how hard it is to find a card like this, that's why I was concerned about ANY find of 460s doubling the population of this card overnight. I don't think it is at all likely a find like that will occur, but I would've said the same thing a few years ago before the Drum find.

You don't know me....so why on earth would you even say something like this? Only reason I can even think of is that you know the consignor and are hoping to "reverse-psychology" me into bidding???

I saw your original and post-edit post...I really don't understand why you decided to take the rude route, though that does seem to be the default setting around here. Based on previous sales, (the BL 460 Auth Mathewson that was sold through cardtarget in 2008 was interesting to read about), and the high grade of this card in particular, I'm sure the card will sell for much more, maybe more than double the current bid, so your patronizing comment wasn't really needed.

Everyone is so filled with vinegar here.....isn't this supposed to be fun?!?!?!

not pestering you -just want to know what 3 you have owned-would not have asked if you didn't say it.

You started off by saying

and I immediately addressed that request for information...

....you just chose to ignore it, so now I'm going to ignore you. I'm not required to disclose every card I've owned or currently own. And to REQUIRE irrelevant information from me before sharing your BL460 information is childish. If you have valuable information to share with the board, then by all means, do it! If you don't, then feel free to keep your mouth shut.

Here's a quote from Leon....try to let it sink in....

you think everybody is attacking you-I don't post negative posts. If I knew what 3 you owned, I could tell you if they are duplicates known or they are 1 of 1. I will keep my information to myself and not help but would have certainly helped if you followed through-you were the one asking and saying you owned 3. Could have been a good thread if you would have let it...
