Check out the 2013 Museum Collection Babe Ruth Cut Autograph that's on ebay (not my auction). It could be genuinely the most amazing card I've ever seen. It's a little over double what I would personally pay but I am considering making a reasonable offer anyways. I would have to sell my Bowman cases for sure to put a dent in that bad boy.

Go got it!

That is a sweet card but I'd rather buy a car or something. Good luck to you if you decide to go after it.

You mean the one at $4495 ??

The one at $18,999 obo. He is really really high right now.

And a car is exactly what I am trying to buy and I really didn't want to spend any money on cards this month. I sort of think at that price it isn't going anywhere for a while though.

That's a pretty crazy card.....I could never pay in the thousands for a card even if I did have a spare few thousand bucks. Whoever does end up with it will have an awesome piece of baseball history though!

I don't mind spending the money if it's something I think won't lose value. Something like that will at least hold it's value in the short term and probably increase in value over time. Any time I am going to get into the 4 digits I make myself to think in those terms which is why I don't tend to drop that kind of money on guys who have never played in the majors yet. There is just too much variance in those type of investment. I get that it often pays off pretty big but the odds just aren't good enough. I want a safe investment if I am spending that sort of money. I've never thought of my collection as an investment but I don't want to waste my money either.

With that said, that all may go out the window when/if Puig gets some nice Bowman Draft cards. I think there are more "can't miss" guys but I just see him being a staple for the Dodgers for years and even if he is a bust, at least he is a Dodger bust. I am going to make a run at the rainbow if he gets an auto and since he is already pretty hyped I am guessing that is going to be a pricey venture. Of course, if I do attempt to go after this Babe, it will be pretty hard to do something like that.

The main problem I have with this is thinking about how many of my PC guy wants I could knock out with the same amount I would have to spend on this. Hershiser sells so cheap that I could probably pay for every single Hershiser card currently on the market for what this one card costs.

I should clarify, I don't plan on selling anything I have ever. I keep some stuff around to trade because it's fun to trade and some people have stuff I want and are only willing to trade. My theory has always been, if you have to think "I like this because I could sell it one day if I needed to" then you just shouldn't buy it, period. At the same time, the businessman in me just can't justifying overpaying for something with no long term security.
