    Nice card. Good luck with it. I do think you should have sprung for the larger image option though.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. 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 was thinking the same thing. There are lots of guys who will pay a huge premium for this card if they think it might bump to a 7 upon resbumission, but there's no way to tell if a grade-bump is realistic given the size of the scan. If this card wouldn't look out of place in a PSA 7 holder you should put up a much larger picture.

    I will put higher res scans of the front and back on tonight when I get home. Thanks for the advice.

    Your auction states that you will send the card with delivery confirmation. You need to ship this card with signature confirmation to cover yourself, not delivery confirmation. Good luck.
  • jwgatorsjwgators Posts: 460 ✭✭
    Thanks for the heads up. Doesn't insurance require a signature or do you have to get delivery confirmation on top of that?

    I don't know why anyone would pay five grand for a fairly common Topps post-war card, let alone a player who carved out such a pedestrian career.

    For that price, you could have gotten both of the complete 1924 Wichita Homemade Donuts "B" series proof sets known to be in existence- both of which include Christy Mathewson and Ty Cobb Sliding with Left Foot. Only six sets were ever made, and four of them are believed to have been in the basement of the original donut shop when it burned down in 1930.

    A dealer in the '70s by the name of Ned Crispin unearthed the Wichita Donuts cards in 1974, no one knew they actually existed until then. Ned and I go way back, we used to place ads in the Baseball Prospectus Quarterly. Sadly, Ned succumbed to Goebel Syndrome in the summer of '85 and his wife Martha was forced to liquidate his collection to pay for funeral arrangements.

    Or they could have bought a card that actually meant something to them instead of a set that had no appeal to them.
    Seems like they bought what they wanted.
