This weekend I sold an Aaron Judge insert on Ebay for over $50. Yet, I put up a NrMt 1963 Lenny Moore (HOFer for you kids) for $1.99 and he doesn't sell. Btw, that's a 54 year old card for the mathematically challenged. Okay, you tell me what is wrong with this picture? The responses should be interesting.

What's wrong with the picture? We'll never know the answer to that question without some red cellophane. ;)

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

I put it on the insane hype of the potential of the modern day player. People never learn from there mistakes. Remember how much the cards went for in the 80's?

You can just leave it to me in your will.

People are insane now-days. They tend to have very short term memory and any event over 10 years ago, unless it was a huge thing like 11 Sept 2001 they don't remember it. Celebrities are only remembered if they are currently doing some reality TV show and athletes are only remembered if they are the current record breaker.

This is how a card dealer got me involved buying T-209 and Goudy cards. These guys are sure bets the new guys are not. What they paying for Brett and Yount rookies i can sell them Cobb, Chase and a bunch of others. He sold me a T-209 Cobb batting peidmont back My 1st tabacco card.

Robert “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.” ― A. Bartlett Giamatti robertkimble.us/tradingcards

I'd love to buy some tobacco cards, but I am so afraid of a counterfeit that I don't. Am I insane? Is there a way I can feel more confident?
