As a collector of 1960 Fleer, I wasn't excited by the "find" of another wrong back Pennock. I was annoyed by the full page article Beckett Vintage Magazine gave Wentz to tout his amazing SGC 5.5. Not surprised no one was stupid enough to bid $10,000 on this "incredible investment opportunity".

Always looking for 1957 Topps BB in PSA 9!

    I completely agree. Most collectors are not big fans of wrong backs, blank backs, printing variations and error cards. They are just novelties. Certainly very few are willing to pay $10000 for a $30 card.

    This reminds me of the early nineties when Alan Hager auctioned ASA graded proofs and wrongback cards. Con men like these can make make money by fooling some people in the short term, but after a while people wisen up and simply laugh at these kinds of dealers.

    Excuse me Jello powder, Koby said nothing bad about BMW, he was reffering to Alan Hagar who makes Mr. Mint look like Sportscards Plus.

    He's also right about wrongbacks. I collect T205's. You think I'm gonna pay silly money for the same card that doesn't have a line of stats on the back? No way, let those obssesive compulsive freaks finish their set that way. Money is better spent elsewhere.

    Also Jello, you shouldn't be ripping respectable board members with your two-bit pop-psychology rant. Sounds like you're the one angry at the world.image

    Initial over/under on PBC8210's time before being booted is 48 hours.

    Buckwheat, don't know whether the over or under hit for you. One thing is obvious, you handicapped it about right.

    (Some new guy with a Jello box icon ripped on Koby with wrong accusations and a bad disposition, now he's gone)

    Back to the thread, I didn't realize Beckett vintage existed anymore. Anyone know if they list oddball caramel sets? (E95's E96's, E90-1's, etc..) I ain't buying that SCD bible, and would like a fairly current guide for these and others.

    Interchanges-
    Beckett Vintage still is around. I just let my subscription run out after about a year.

    And no, they are a vintage magazine but mostly just give prices of the majot T-sets. No E sets.
    I like my #1 Current Finest 1911 T-205 Gold Borders Set! image

    Who is PBC8210?

    I just don't think error cards and print variations should command mega-premiums. That not even controversial.
