Wishful thinking ...
I remember back in the early 80's when cards were barely existing. There
was 1 major manufacturer and the made nice cards. Two other manufacturers were fighting to get into the business and the hobby of today would have been a real big joke then. 20+ Manufacturers, 1000+ Sets, 1000's of cards you or me will ever see let alone own. I see the Beckett Hot List and the bulging price guide and I thought ... If a 2001 Bowman Auto Pujols RC books for $1,200 and a 1956 Mantle, booking the same, were side by side, I am taking the Mantle. If Santa gave you an E-Bay Gift Card with no limit, what 5 cards all time would you HAVE to have ??? (New or Old, any card any set any year any sport) 1. 1948 Bowman Yogi Berra Nr-Mt+ or better 2. a BGS 9.5 1984 Topps Tiffany Don Mattingly 3. 2000 SP Authentic Chirography Sandy Koufax AUTO 4. 1986-87 Fleer Basketball Wax Box (Looking for Jordan RC) 5. A SUPER CLEAN 1956 TOPPS MANTLE Discussion time people, list your choices here Have fun -- www.dacollector.net Your source for sportscards in Southern NJ & DE or on the internet.

(New or Old, any card any set any year any sport) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I could say the T-206 Honus Wagner card, and it would be interesting to own. I did see one a few years ago. It was in a traveling exibit in a Wal-Mart parking lot. But the problem is, I would probably just end up selling it. I don't collect anything except '61 Topps baseball, and I am within 40 cards of having that set complete, mostly high numbers. But there are some things I would like to have (other than those 40 cards, which I will get eventually), but I doubt that an eBay gift card, no matter what the limit, could get me these: 1. I would like to have a complete set of '61 Topps baseball cards in uncut sheets. 2. I would like to have an unopened box of '61 wax packs, and since I'm wishing, make them last series. The box would have to be unopened because I don't trust wax packs, even if they have been authenticated. 3. An upgrade of my set of '61s to near mint and perfectly centered would be nice. 4. A complete set of '61 rub-off inserts. (This would not be that difficult, and I will probably head in this direction eventually, after my set of cards is complete.) 5. A complete set of '61 stamp panel inserts, in all the various combinations and colors, but panels only, not single stamps. That's it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Wade |

Nice picks, as vintage as it gets. I think we would all take a few trimmed

A SUPER CLEAN 1956 TOPPS MANTLE A Babe Ruth rookie card would be pretty cool. Better yet, a 1914 Baltimore News Ruth, the pre-rookie. After that? Complete T206 set in highest PSA grade, then the same for '33 Goudey, '52 Topps, and then for the last item, it really wouldn't matter. Complete '86 Fleer baskeball set in PSA 10, I suppose. -- Chris Cathcart http://geocities.com/cathcacr e-addresss: leave out [revolmaps] |
