Re: AABA (All-American Basketball Alliance)
Mexisar. My post was not an attempt to play the race card. I was merely pointing out that if this new league was something other than "white american born" player only, it would not receive the media attention that it has and will receive. I think the league, if it ever gets off the ground, will fail financially. I think… -
Re: Next card to skyrocket?
Considering that the 51B Mick has already begun its ascent into the mesosphere with a handful of recent strong sales, I think a more accurate answer to the question in the original post is one card in particular: The Lou Gehrig Rookie Card from 1925. The player subject is a towering cultural icon, and probably remains the… -

Re: Ohtani allegedly ripped off by interpreter
I had been wondering but I don't think I mentioned it before, if Ohtani had a history growing up of behavior such as drug use, drinking, gambling, etc. I haven't yet seen that he did. If he didn't have any of these behavior problems, it would be quite unusual, if not near impossible, for him to strike it rich with MLB… -

OT Redskins/Giants game last night
Last night I had the pleasure and displeasure of attending the Redskins/Giants game at FedEx Field. Living in Va. and being a Giants fan doesnt lend to many opportunities to see a live Giants game. This was my first Giants game and my first time at FedEx Field. If anyone has any desires to see a game there, let me pass… -
Re: October………..pick ups.
End of the month Sept purchase but received this month so I'll just add it here. Spotted the listing rather late at night (for me anyway). 14 albums for $9.99 + $6.25 shipping. Pictures of just the covers and no describing the condition of the records other than what you see is what you get. Put it on my watch list and… -
Re: 1964 Sandy Koufax Tropicana postcard... why such interest?.. Grades are in... scans added.
From smalltraditions.com: Among the rarest and most coveted Sandy Koufax items from his playing days are the 1964 Tropicana Motel Postcards, which advanced Koufax collectors know can be found in two variations, one picturing the Brooklyn-born southpaw poolside at his new Hollywood hotel in street or "civilian" clothes and… -
Re: Game Theory and customer relations
Oh, boy - it's one of those days. Insert foot in friggin' mouth. OK, here's a retail one: I answer the phone last week, the first words out of the guy's mouth are "hey, want to buy a bag of 90, buddy?" Now I know what kind of person I am dealing with. Instead of saying "do you know how much face value is in a bag?" I said… -
Re: How many of you still have your cards from long ago and managed to keep them high grade?
This is a great thread. If I had only never sold one card and just made due financially, I would have one hell of a collection. I have sold at least 40 Mantles in the late 80's & early 90's not to mention all the others. IF I HAD ONLY HELD ON. Anyway, I started collecting at the age of 6, in the summer of 1976 when my dad…
