Maybe for the buyers, but hey back in the day people had LOTS of '97 and '98 Chrome RC's in rather large lots. McDonald was not one of mine and I don't care to mention who was, but any chance of selling them now is a good thing rathr than having them in the quarter or dime box.


EDIT: Anyone here need any Travis Lee's?

I thought McDonald's name sounded familiar. I definitely remember his cards from late 90s Bowman. No idea where I'd have them stored today, though. Oh well.

Maybe people want to own them as a fan of the team, or seeing a journeyman have some success, even if limited.


THIS.

There are probably more than a few people who want rooks of everyone to ever put on a Sox uniform.

You mean there are still people in this "hobby" who don't care about how much they will be able to flip something for?

For one shining moment in his career, one journeyman player gave Sox fans something to talk about, something to remember, something that made them happy for a day, and you are calling them stupid?

I think it's moments and sales like this that are good for the hobby. Who cares if you spent ten dollars on a card that can be picked up for a dime a month later- that's what's so great about impulse buys. The buyers will always remember that home run and game winning hit forever, and just those fond memories and special feelings is worth the ten dollars everytime they look at that card.

Cornier than ethanol, but to me, this is the post of the year thus far.
