Man that is one heck of a tough card to find and it is not even a high #.I have 2 cards in my set one being the Butler and the other Jack Scarbath that need to be upgraded from PSA 3.I twice lost out on a Scarbath even with high bids.The Butler has never been offered in any grade and very few raw.

Jay VCP on a 7 is $14 and an 8 is $101, but will find out if his cards take a leap in price this Saturday. There's one on ebay in a PSA 7 that has an opening bid at $99. I can't justifying paying that kind of money, when VCP on a 7 is $14. I am still looking

If you're stuck on paying VCP, and he makes the HOF on Saturday as expected, then you're SOL. As is, no one is going to sell a Butler for past market value with just 6 days before the card is likely to take a big leap in value.

The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

I never said I was stuck on paying VCP , but I can't justifying paying $120 for a PSA 7 when the last 7 sold for $20.

Looks like the VCP will be changing, the one on Feebay has a bid. This is making me think maybe I should get rid of my 8, but then I still need one for my set.

I hear ya Bobby, but my point is that prices realized from before Butler was named a senior finalist are out the window. Unless, that is, he doesn't make the HOF.

at this point its probably to late for a decent $ on a butler. Better off waiting for the ebay unload if he makes and esp if he doesn't make the hall. 7/8's will be swallowed up by the rc collectors.

Andy.... I'm not sold that he will make the hall. I really believe Bettis and Dawson are in and I can't see the HOF Committee putting 3 Steelers in at once. Butler is the odd man out. I agree prices will spike on Butler, just like any other player that gets in.

I'm pretty confident that he'll get in. My guesses:
Stanfel Butler Parcells Martin Roaf Dawson Reed
I think Haley, Kennedy or Carter could sneak in in place of one of these guys. I really can't see anyone else getting in this year. If Bettis went in ahead of Martin it would be a crime.

I paid $35 for a Stanfel 7 a couple weeks ago. So hopefully he gets in. I guess that would make it a $100 card for the weekend then settle back down to around $50-60 in the coming months/year......or $20-25 if he doesn't. He's still all-time team and decade in the registry, as is Butler. I imagine the Stanfel 8 on ebay for like $280 will sell making my purchase a decent one.
Maybe I should get my Stanfel auction ready to list in case. Almost every election the last several years I have went ahead and sold one of the new guys for a decent profit and repurchased the same later.
I also don't see Bettis getting in over Martin.
I guess I will go Haley over Dawson on your list.

I didn't take too kindly to this remark. And I'm no the only one who saw it as a dig. So touche.

Good Luck.
I have not seen a butler in an 8 since the senior commitee results......that was not under $240
Good luck. I think people are holding them.

You made a purchase of the card before a binary event, that post is no dig, its the truth.
