What's the next card you're going to buy?

ajw · July 19, 2005 1:29AM

I just barely lost a beautiful PSA 8 1960 Willie Mays All-Star and now I seem to be on a mission to find another. Unless something surprising comes along, that will be the next card I buy.

What's the next card you're going to buy?

I have a lot of interests, but am budgeting for a rather large submission of '69 and '80 topps to psa.

Me too Julen. I have about 150 cards that I want to send in for the 60-71 special.

Stingray · July 19, 2005 2:19AM

I would like to get a nice PSA 8 or 9 1975 Rose, centered. This card appears to be fairly hard to find a nicely centered one. If not this then I would like to get a 75 PSA 9 Munson.

Stingray

mcholke · July 19, 2005 2:21AM

1968 Topps Tony Perez PSA 9

TimeMachine · July 19, 2005 2:43AM

In about 5 minutes, I am going to purchase the one PSA 9 Gale Sayers RC on EBAY for the bin price... the person selling it sniped it from me two weeks ago for just over $1800 if I remember correctly, and now I'm willing to pay $429 above that (still below current SMR) for the nearly perfectly centered specimen...

If you don't believe me, just watch the item over the next few minutes, it will be gone by 1 PM...

(still feeling giddy about the $13K I made in the market today, ticker symbol GIGA, 6000 shares... should run tomorrow too;&gt

jrdolan · July 19, 2005 2:46AM

RlpublicninMass, you'd better have $1.1 million in your pockets, because my $1 million snipe is already set on that puppy!

ajw · July 19, 2005 2:49AM

The Sayers rookie is just a great looking card. Well done!

zef204 · July 19, 2005 2:53AM

Hey TimeMachine...

Where was that tip this morning? You think it will keep running off that $2M contract?

TimeMachine · July 19, 2005 2:55AM

hey zef... I have owned shares under $4 since its last retracement after the BA contract anncmnt last quarter... and if you want the skinny, there are some smart folks on the YHOO message boards. I think it is going much MUCH higher my friend...

Sayers RC going...

TimeMachine · July 19, 2005 2:56AM

going...

TimeMachine · July 19, 2005 2:57AM

gone.

zef204 · July 19, 2005 3:00AM

Nice buy, and tip! I'm in.

TimeMachine · July 19, 2005 3:05AM

My pleasure... in a nutshell, GIGA is a turnaround story, low float defense-play, now profitable... they are officially a takeover target by a larger defense firm.

GL

Buccaneer · July 19, 2005 3:38AM

My next big card hopefully will be a 1961 Mays All-Star PSA 8...if I can find one.

Stone193 · July 19, 2005 3:55AM

I'm looking for a 63F PSA 8 Willie Mays - nicely centered for at or below SMR.

mike

TheCARDKid · July 19, 2005 5:49AM

Nice play on GIGA.

I'm waiting to see what's in the Mastro auction next month.

TimeMachine · July 19, 2005 6:21AM

Thanks.

I just got my SMR and I can tell you that there is a '79 OPC Gretzky RC PSA 10 up for sale... I think it may sell for over $50K... there is also a '48 Leaf J. Robinson RC in PSA 9 (looks perfect, white borders, near perfect centering) that should go for well over $100K imo...

BTW, still not too late to buy GIGA just above $6 where it settled down today...

Golfcollector · July 19, 2005 6:26AM

Hopefully a nice Sports Kings or US Carmel Bobby Jones at the National next week!

Stingray · July 20, 2005 12:04AM

Hopefully no one got burnt on GIGA?

Stingray

RipublicaninMass · July 20, 2005 5:02AM

I have set snipes for 25 items in the past 3 days, I haven't one any. In fact one 2 or 3 "fired" the rest I got smoked early-on on. This soemtimes is a mixed blessing, I wasn't tempted to pay too much for the card, but I really wanted the card!

Buccaneer · July 20, 2005 8:00AM

It looks like my next card was a nice 1957 Ernie Banks PSA 7.

ajw · July 20, 2005 10:10AM

I was wrong. I didn't get a 1960 All-Star, but I picked up this really nice looking 59 last night. Hope it looks as nice in person as it does in the scan.

wufdude · July 20, 2005 10:00PM

note to self....

Ignore someone hyping a stock such as GIGA on a sports card message board....7/20 close wasn't too pretty...

Stingray · July 20, 2005 10:25PM

Agreed, hopefully no one here got burned on his bragging on making $13K (good for him), but he could have cost someone a good chunk of change.

Stingray

TimeMachine · July 21, 2005 3:14AM

uhhhhh... take another look @ GIGA today... better yet, get back to me next week after earnings.

Always do your own research when buying stocks for goodness sake...

kuntryboy · July 21, 2005 3:47AM

I would not recommend following any stock advice/tips coming from a person that invests in Tiger Woods cards.

TimeMachine · July 21, 2005 4:24AM

Yeah, Tiger has only won like 10 majors before the age of 30... he'll only win about 15 more LMAO.

Easy does it kuntryboy, you are far, far out of your element here buddy.

kuntryboy · July 21, 2005 4:28AM

<< Easy does it kuntryboy, you are far, far out of your element here buddy. >>

Am I?

TimeMachine · July 21, 2005 5:14AM

I am going to have to give a resounding "YES".

you sound merely jealous to me, which is understandable...
1996 Tiger Woods SIFK PSA 10 ------- safely put away in my collection for posterity...
1966 Philadelphia Gale Sayers RC PSA 9------- paid for and on the way... (thanks again Bret T.)
8,000 shares of GIGA bought @ $3.75~3.90 ------- RTQ = $7.03... you do the math buddy...

LMAO

orion9578 · July 21, 2005 5:33AM

Nice Mayes Ajw, sure looks better then a 5. I will have to show everyone my newest card when it gets here in say....a month? Something like that! I'm sure everyone will like it

.

TimeMachine · July 21, 2005 5:40AM

Oh, sorry kuntryboy, my RTQ has since changed... GIGA now $7.27... sorry you don't know jack about trading or investing...

lmao

(hope you actually bot some zef...;&gt

kuntryboy · July 21, 2005 5:45AM

<< you sound merely jealous to me, which is understandable... >>

I guess every message board has an Adam J. Moraine.

TimeMachine · July 21, 2005 5:47AM

Whoever that is...

Oh yeah, updated RTQ on GIGA ----- $7.37... but what's $800 more dollars when you're already up $14,000 for the day right?

ROTFLMAO

TimeMachine · July 21, 2005 6:01AM

Strike that.

GIGA RTQ (high of the day) = $7.57... but what's $1,600 more dollars, right?

Knuckles · July 21, 2005 6:05AM

Still looking for an eye-appealing low grade '51 Sawchuk RC. ...... Hopefully it will be my next card.

orion9578 · July 21, 2005 6:07AM

<< Strike that.

"ROFL OMG PWNT I R 1337 TRADZOR"

PS. Brag much on an online forum? LOL

baseballfanatic · July 21, 2005 6:12AM

Was it Phil Jackson who said "He who crows the loudest eventually eats the most crow...............?"

Carew29 · July 21, 2005 6:17AM

Hopefully a 1970 Dad's Cookies Gordie Howe PSA 9.

TimeMachine · July 21, 2005 6:18AM

Uhhhhh, I was called out by kuntryboy. Obviously my updates and comments were for him... looks like me and zef did OK today though...lol.

Sorry you did not read this thread a few days ago, it sucks to be sitting on the sidelines while others make money, I have been there.

Also, it ain't crowing if you are right, buddy... I'll let you fencesitters know when GIGA hits $10 though...

(rant over)

orion9578 · July 21, 2005 6:25AM

You brought it up 4 times within about 15 posts. I don't know what you call that, but I know what I call it

. Not trying to argue though, GL with your stocks and cards!

TimeMachine · July 21, 2005 7:15AM

Agreed. A bit extensive, but I for one like to RUB IT IN. You'll notice I have few posts for as long as I've been a member... when something ignites me, that's how I react.

AHQ $7.70... just for laughs... awright, enuff already lol.

Knuckles · July 21, 2005 8:13AM

TimeMachine · July 21, 2005 9:01AM

I will be buying that issue knuckles, and as for the clip ----- LMAO--- thanks, haven't laughed that hard all day... holy crap, I hope she's OK.

Knuckles · July 21, 2005 10:00AM

I can't see how that guy didn't see her.. I think he just ran her over to teach her a lesson not to walk on the track especially walking on it not paying attention. Kind of pr!cky. Or.. maybe he was running with his eyes closed. At any rate the dudes face with the orange shirt on says it all.

<< I will be buying that issue knuckles, >>

I'm really interested to see how they'll present it, the graphics used etc.. and if they edited/changed/removed things that I wrote. I hope it doesn't come across as lame.. Hope you like it..

I've told my local card shop to hold 5 copies for me and to phone me when they're in.

kuntryboy · July 23, 2005 3:54AM

<< $7.70... just for laughs... awright, enuff already lol.

>>

GIGA $6.62 now. If my math is correct, TimeMachine has lost $8,640.00 since Thursday.

mcholke · July 23, 2005 4:08AM

can't see how that guy didn't see her.. I think he just ran her over to teach her a lesson not to walk on the track especially walking on it not paying attention. Kind of pr!cky. Or.. maybe he was running with his eyes closed. At any rate the dudes face with the orange shirt on says it all.

Those track guys are taught to keep there head down at the start of the run and uncoil as the accelerate. It looks like from the clip he was just bringing his head up when they connected. Amazing clip though and a testament to the power those guys generate and example of the formula we all learned in physics Force = Mass x Acceleration.

TimeMachine · July 23, 2005 5:06AM

keep tryin' buddy... my $ ave. is just over $4... you don't make a dime or lose a dime umtil you sell of course, Wall Street 101.

Close of $6.64, BUT, $7 AHQ chump. Guess you don't know what a "long" is huh? Monday?---$8-10 as shortsellers scurry to cover their positions (maybe you understand this, maybe you don't), and $11-15+ after earnings on tuesday-friday... you really sound like a jealous scamp, sorry you don't have two nickels to rub together buddy.

I was willing to let this thread die until $10 became a reality, but if you really want to keep looking foolish and stupid, by all means, keep commenting on a helpful stock tip I gave out last week, where anyone that bought below $6 is a happy camper right now.

kuntryboy · July 23, 2005 5:16AM

TimeMachine

I didn't expect you to show up on this thread today. I figured you'd be busy slitting your wrists after losing $8,640.00.

TimeMachine · July 23, 2005 5:32AM

one more time "friend"...

You don't lose a penny or make a penny until you sell. Stocks don't go straight up OR straight down. I'm up about 24 large since my purchase, so I'm hardly slitting my wrists lol, but I am waiting to secure profits at higher levels and play with the "house's" money sometime in the near future...

I am done wasting my time with a rube like yourself, but suffice it to say I'll be buying that PSA 8 '51 Bowman Mantle RC on Ebay with the "house's" $$$$ when the auction ends as my next card purchase... but I guess it isn't wise to invest in Mantle cards either, right?

Stay on the sidelines where you belong Littleboy...

What's the next card you're going to buy?
