I think you read it wrong. He meant he spent hundreds of dollars and gave up those 2 cards, presumably in a trade.

In any case, this thread is why I don't do prospects. It costs me more, sure. But at least I don't end up with a whole bunch of stuff I don't even want. I don't collect as an investment, so I am glad I'm not trying to "beat the market".

yeah but the hobby was different back then, we didnt have 5 million autos and game used cards to pull...those base rookies were the chase cards. 90s inserts have recently exploded due to the fact today's cards have way too many different sp inserts of a player in each set. I think the griffeys, jeters, arods will eventually start to rise in value, maybe not all of the base rookies...but the limited inserts and parallels of them from their rookie years. I guess maybe im too old school...id trade my bryce harpers and bustr poseys all day for some arod, griffey rcs
