But it is a nice photo

Subject: Re: New Subforum! Sun Dec 02, 2007 7:59 pm

===============

The problem is I wouldn't want either. That ball is single-signed, but it sucks! A REAL single-signed baseball books at $8,000

A PSA Graded ball runs $5000 for a 7, $9,000 for an 8, $22,000 for a 9, and $50,0000 for a 10.

A photo is worth $1000. Where? I'd pay that (well, not right now...when I get a job though I'd spend my first check on that). I can't find a Bobby Layne one either rant

What it's worth ($150) is no big deal. Hell, I'll pay $300 RIGHT NOW if you can find me one to my liking. I've never seen one at any price.

I don't have any unsigned pictures. I kind of want a Cobb one though (my avatar one for example).

The only signed balls I have are McLain and Rodney. I have Virgil Trucks' autobiography which he signed. He's a pretty nice guy. I sent him an old 195X topps (forgot which year) of his for him to sign. He signed that and sent me like 5 other signed cards and a letter. I bought his book and he signed that and sent like a bunch more signed cards and a letter.

Harwell signed my photo pretty quick - CA to MI and back in 6 days (those 6 days included a Sunday and a Monday national holiday!)

I have the 1984 team photo signed by Parrish. I'll try to get more autographs before I hang that. I had the 1968 photo but Don Wert never signed it (why'd I pick him first?????). It might come back though - I sent 1968 and 1984 on the same day in 8/2006 and Parrish was returned last month Shocked

I gotta get me that update set! SWEET!

Subject: Re: New Subforum! Mon Dec 03, 2007 10:17 pm

I got to get me about 60 years worth of team sets. Baseball cards are so damn expensive!

I've got EVERY Lions Topps team set 1957-2007. Most expensive card was like $20 - if that. I think the set is at around 1000 cards right now. I'm working on the old Bowman ones - those cards get expensive. I have every card from 1950 other than Doak Walker. That one won't come cheap...a good one will set me back $50 - still nothing compared to a Kaline rookie:

This one sold for $36.57 and look at! It's a piece of crap:

This one is $1,300.01! :

It's practically perfect though. A nice one is around $100...really nice is under $250. Immaculate is a grand+

LOL. Hell, why not 30 years? I refuse to throw anything away (literally, anything - even trash) so I definitely won't be trashing these.
