goodriddance189 · February 1, 2004 5:05AM

if youre offended by the nature of the question, dont answer

CW · February 1, 2004 5:17AM

Priceless!

gemint · February 1, 2004 5:19AM

Whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

Davalillo · February 1, 2004 5:44AM

I just had my appraised for insurance using smr.. Not sure I would want to put the number here though.

mikeschmidt · February 1, 2004 5:48AM

Since I collect relatively fewer cards -- I don't think that there is a reliable number I could provide. For example, there are two cards that I am currently negotiating selling to a buyer who would pay me top price. Absent him, the cards are worth significantly less. So providing a number seems....as unreliable a guideline as the SMR can be at times.

BugOnTheRug · February 1, 2004 6:00AM

$37.18

BOTR

murcerfan · February 1, 2004 6:14AM

probably 20 bucks less than I have into it.
........seems to be the rule of thumb lately.

LESS THEN I HAVE INTO IT

GoSoxBoSox · February 1, 2004 6:52AM

Make me a good enough offer and you'll find out.

1 billion dollars!

gemint · February 1, 2004 9:28AM

<< buck ninety seven give or take a penny >>

I always like the saying "a buck two ninety eight"...$1.298

jackstraw · February 1, 2004 9:37AM

gemint,
when is that luzinski going to hit ebay?i have been saving up!

Buckwheat · February 1, 2004 12:41PM

Do you want the amount I have spent, or the amount I tell my wife I have spent??

shagrotn77 · February 1, 2004 1:19PM

Goodriddance...not quite the responses you were looking for huh??? I guess it was too sensitive of a question for the boarders.

TheCARDKid · February 1, 2004 1:28PM

This is a little more personal than the "how many cards do you have" question.

Obviously, the collections on this board would run from the thousands to much much more than that. I'd say a minimum of a buck ninety eight.

AlanAllen · February 1, 2004 1:36PM

You'd probably get a better response if you made it an anonymous poll. You could make the options like
<$100
$101-$500
$501-$1000
$1001-$2000
$2001-$5000
$5001-$10,000
$10,001-$20,000
$20,001-$50,000
$50,001-$100,000
$100,001-$250,000
$250,001-$500,000
$500,001-$1,000,000
over $1,000,000

slvnumber2 · February 1, 2004 1:40PM

Plenty of people looking for that '76 Luzinski in 8 or higher!

qualitycards · February 1, 2004 1:43PM

Too many its very hard to assess a value of a collection, unless you are just going my SMR values, and even that isn't cut and dry.
Many of us have paid over smr for cards we need for a set or cards we had to have, and many have purchases where cards rise in value too! Or what about the $2.00 1960's common that we submit and it comes back a "9", or what about a card we had as a kid and now its slabbed, that beat up Mantle or Rose may garner a low PSA grade, but it may be priceless to us...jay

Basilone · February 1, 2004 2:05PM

about $3.50

gemint · February 1, 2004 9:07PM

<< gemint,

The card is now on eBay. Thanks for the excuse to spam my own auction.

Here's the link:

1976 Luzinski PSA 9

oldguy · February 1, 2004 9:33PM

2.00

1954 · February 1, 2004 10:17PM

About $14.00 more than Murcerfans collection.

1954

coachh · February 1, 2004 11:02PM

Actual value or what I tell the wife???

marz · February 2, 2004 2:31AM

<< Do you want the amount I have spent, or the amount I tell my wife I have spent?? >>

this is good. " Hey honey! I saved us $300 on this card!!!" The wife say's. " Great! Where is the $300 dollars? "

theBobs · February 2, 2004 6:04AM

$777.77 * PI squared

goodriddance189 · February 2, 2004 6:09AM

guess my question didnt go over so well. i understand there are numerous security issues of publicly stating the value of your cards, didnt mean to be rude in asking.

Vargha · February 2, 2004 7:18AM

Plus you don't want to give the IRS any ammo. (I'm talking about other people now as I have never made a dime on cards.)

schr1st · February 2, 2004 7:42AM

Damn You Loch Ness Monster! I told you I wouldn't give you $3.50...

<< about $3.50 >>

TheCARDKid · February 2, 2004 7:47AM

Why not try an anonymous poll?

CW · February 2, 2004 8:36AM

<< guess my question didnt go over so well. i understand there are numerous security issues

I don't think you were rude at all. Not only is there the security
issue, or the fact that it might be hard to pinpoint an exact figure,
but some might be too modest to share that info. You might not have
gotten the replies you wanted, but at least you didn't get ignored.
And nobody called you a nosy %&#%ing @*#hole, which is pretty good
these days!

Virtualizard · February 2, 2004 11:07AM

Hey goodriddance189 -

You're a nosy %&#%ing @*#hole!

Send me some T218s and I'll let you know what my collection is worth.

JEB.

marz · February 2, 2004 2:40PM

<< 6 Million dollars...................................................................- 5,990,000.00

Mine is close! But if I ever won some cards in auctions it would be worth much more minus the Visa card checks I would need to write against the wining bids! lol*
