DaveTV1 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The 1909 Honus Wagner tobacco card once owned by Wayne Gretzky was auctioned off yesterday at a whopping 2.35 million. This is another reason mothers should not have access to baseball card collections. I remember Smoaky's story of how his were lost. I had a similar story, but mine were given to my nephews, when I returned home they were being used to make motorcycle sound effects on their bicycles. I did too, but I didn't use my favorite players cards. One of the worst days of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Little different deal with the Wagner card, lol. Now adays though its nearly impossible to get a card worth something unless you buy it individually. Ive got a million of cards from the 60s-present and I dont have anything that whiffs a million.

TxBroadcaster Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 What made the old cards so valuable is the fact so many were thrown out, lost, destroyed...Now days so many people keep cards just for the value, that it has brought the value down because so many cards still are in circulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Exactly, there's hardly any value at all to cards these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'm one of the few people left who actually collects for the "love of the card" I have never obsessed over how much a card "is worth". That's the first thing people who see my collection ask me: "how much is all of this worth?" My answer: I DON'T CARE. If you compiled the Beckett value of my five favorite Baseball Cards of all time, I would bet it would not surpass $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't count on it :getlost: :D Cheaptrickfan, You're being modest, and I know it. I wouldn't take $10 for the worst album or baseball card in my collection. Perhaps I should rephrase "Let the Mom's and Dad's" wreak havoc upon your cards and record collections, it will make my values go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
