I hate the whole offer thing but I really don't know if it's a $50 card or a $500 card to be honest.
Thanks for looking,

I have no clue, obviously, but the first 2 e-bay ads in this link show 2 different cards than yours and both claim they are his RC?

Imo, you might want to check/dig further into what exactly it is you actually have? Hate to see anyone sell themselves short if it can be helped.

Thanks everyone for the info. There is an offer of $130 right now just so everyone is aware. Damn, 17 is alot of rookie cards (unless you count current era cards)!
Thanks again and feel free to make an offer over $130 if interested. I'll listen until Sun night.

[JustinD]

yes, Oh is one of those players that I have absolutely no idea as to what his true rookie is. The Japanese issued cards in the 50's and 60's like cards are made today.

[glynparson]

is a fair offer. in a pwcc auction i would say it would sell between 1 and 3 hundred probably closer to 1 but sometimes things get screwy. that said i think 130 is fair and would sell for that price.

[quinnsryche]

current offer of $135

[ullmandds]

$140

[quinnsryche]

Offer at $165 as of 5:30pm cst

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

why not just auction it then? it's pretty much what you're doing anyway.

[quinnsryche]

I wasn't expecting this kind of interest or I would have. Also, thought most would contact me directly and not post the offers publicly. Live and learn.
