My $1000 card

helionaut

For some time now I've been wanting to condense my collection, shed the dross, and prune the deadwood, as it were. You know, sell off all the stale "investments" I've accumulated, the old 1991 UD and Fleer sets I haven't looked at since I completed them, the doubles, and maybe even the singles, out of my star monster box, and flip the aborted PSA sets I've started, and put together enough to buy one great card. I think I'm going to make that my main collecting goal this year, a $1000 card. The most I've spent on any one card so far is a little over $400. I imagine getting a Mayo Cut Plug Anson, or a nice T-206 Cobb Red background or Mantle card, something like that, but I haven't fixed on a target yet. I've started with a money order I received today from a recent sale, so I'm already 1.8% of the way there. This will be sweet, and a great exercise in self-control for me. All the little $5-10 cards I buy will have to be ignored.

Sounds like you are in the same boat as me, as I'm trying to shed all of the "trash" I have gathered during the years. And I'm trying to be alot more focused like yourself and stay away from the 200-1 dollar cards I'm used to buying. I wish you luck, Im sure its gonna be hard!

eBay is the perfect place to get rid of your crap... people will buy just about anything on there, although, some stuff will cost you more to ship it than it's worth.

good luck keep us posted!

Helionaut - very worthy goal. How do you plan to do it? Ebay will suck your eyeballs out of your head if you attempt one-by-one.

MajorDanby,

That will be a sick auction. Better bring a lot of zeros.
