Buy the card, not the label

Never underestimate the desperation of those who suffer with small genitalia.

Somebody posted a PSA 10 OPC Ozzie Rookie on these boards not too long ago with a 5K price tag.

Seems like a bargain today, especially considering the condition issues for OPC. I'd guess it's tougher then the Topps in that condition.


Neat card, but I wonder how many of these cards in their slabs got dropped on the ground or jostled in shipping just enough to bring a 10, down to a 9, while still in the slab.

Hell, I know from my own clumsy experiences, just the act of slipping a card into a penny sleeve could easily touch up a corner.

You must have missed the ALL Time best post ever (imo), when Brucii was going to sue Archive. Archive fought back though and hired a high falutin' lawyer himself and Brucii backed off. It was touch and go for a few seconds!!

A fool and his money...

It's all relative! If your someone with really deep pockets 20K is for most of us like 100 dollars! My wife works for a very rich man and everyday we talk about how the hell could he spend that kind of money? He'll drop 17k on first lass air fair overseas or 20k on a private jet and not think twice. If you've got 100+ million 20k is nothing!

If he inherited it maybe, but you don't get to that point by making decisions like this one.

Scott, no $hit, really - that's good insight.

Umm maybe? But your mind set changes, they might not be thinking of it like you and me but more of a want instead of investment/other. There are only a certain # of 10s and he/she wants one, doesn't matter how much.
I look at it like this, when I was young and had no money there was no way I would have paid even 20 dollars for a steak dinner, now I see one on a menu for 48 maybe even 60 and if it's a nice place think hmm that's not bad or go buy a 100k car I know as soon as its off the lot I've lost 20k but I wanted it. It just gets to the point of thinking about thing different than "normal" people. Now having said that could you do things like that every day and still keep all your money NO but a want is a want and if you have the means your not thinking about the cost. Just my .02

I wonder how much the first 2012 Topps Skip Schumaker-Skippy the Squirrel RC Short Print PSA 10/BGS 9.5 listed on Ebay will go for?

20K for the Ozzie is alot, but if the buyer is happy, I guess thats all that matters. I'm sure the consigner is happy!!

Once this guy who bought this Ozzie Smith RC and whover bid against him discover pre-War cards, the prices of real nice Ruths, Joe Jacksons, etc. will escalate even more!
