Now this is a card!

I was waiting for this one to surface - it puts those crappy patch cards to shame.

    I have one with Jimmy Wynn and Davey Lopes. Would you guess half value compared to Ruth and the other guy? I really don't want to part with it, but I'd like to get the Jean Claude Killy-Pete Sampras cross sports auto card numbered to 150.

    people will put up in ebay auctions, that scan is sad.

    Seriously, Gacy's paintings of clowns command a pretty hefty price in auctions. I can't think of another indicator that goes beyond this in terms of the fall of mankind.

    PA - The card opens up like a billfold, but unlike a billfold this will cost $20K to start the bidding...jay

    you know i heard that ...now if i could only convince my wife that a gacy original will look better over the mantle than our wedding picture.

    If you had 20K to spend on a completely hedonistic object, what would it be? With the demented minds here, I am very curious.

    highend,

    You could tell your wife that clowns are the universal sign for happiness, while wedding pictures are just a sore reminder of a very bad idea which was made while consuming too much alcohol. Plus, the kids will love it and neighbors won't be stopping by to borrow your crud all the time.

    i think 20g's for a crock pot owned by jeffrey dahmer is a fair price. with the gacy painting and the dahmer cook ware they neighbors won't borrow my stuff and turn down all polite invitations for a dinner party.

    i grew up in Lake Butler, Florida, which is literally just down the road from where Bundy was executed.. me, my dad & uncle, along with hundreds of other people, were outside the prison that morning.. we went just because it "was history".. I had a "Burn Bundy Burn" t-shirt for years.. i dont know what happened to it.. it was sweet.. it had a picture of ole' sparky on it.. i was 13 at the time..

    as we were driving home, we saw police lights coming up fast behind us.. they caught up to us, in the other lane, and we could see that it was a 2 police unit escort with a white hearse in the middle of them.. my dad made some kinda motion to the driver of the hearse and the driver gave a thumbs up gesture, letting us know it was bundy's body in the car..

    Those are the filthiest and most beautiful dirty pillows I've ever laid eyes on. I'd like to get those on me and just snuggle with myself under the covers for a year.

    Bionic Boobies is a great adult video title. I could even finish a script with that title in the next thirty seconds.

    Pizza Boy: Uh, Miss. That will be ten dollars for your pizza.

    Bionic Boobess: I don't have any cash on me.

    Pizza Boy: Well, then you are going to have me on you.

    Sigh, Groan, Moan, Grunt, Moan, Sigh, Sigh, Aaaaaah!

    P.S. I love baseball cards especially old ones so don't say this one goes off topic.

    Scumbi: I know someone who owns at least one of those paintings - he's a former bassist of a now-broken up band, and he lives out there in your neck of the woods!
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
  • I used to have a note that was written by Henry Lee Lucas and signed at the end HLL. I used to work for the State of Texas Prisons and caught the note being passed to another inmate on Death Row during my short time there. I put it in my pocket gonna toss it later but forgot about it and took it home. I think I eneded up just tossing it if I had only known what it might be worth.
  • That card was at Sportsfest with a $27,500 price tag...I wonder if this is the same guy or someone bought it and is trying to turn a profit.

    Are you talking about Leland Sklar - he has one of the most ecclectic collections of memorabilia I have ever seen.

    I was wondering how it opened from the pic there is the front and back and the 3rd pic left me sctratching my head I figured it had to fold open. Nice card but the price will fall when next year they make 5 more.

    That card is a bit more desirable that the Exquisite patch cards...but still, I could buy a lot of sweet cards with 20 large, and have a few dollars left over for beer and cheap hookers. (Damn Scumbi, see what you started!)

    Stone:

    Was referring to Billy Gould - formerly of Faith No More. He has a large collection of death-related things.
