I was helping a friend of mine attempt to price a collection of autographs recently. It didn't work out, as the seller was apparently looking to get about $14,000 for a lot that may have been able to resell for about $2500 at the most, with authentication costs that would have been substantial. The funny thing was that over the past couple of months, I had actually spent a little over $14K at different auctions houses on a variety of lots, so I had a pretty good idea what that amount of $ could actually get you, and could tell that he was way off base. I figured that since I'm still breaking everything down, scanning, and processing all of the things I picked up, I'd post a thread here (and possibly the CU boards, not sure) to show what you can possibly get for that much $ when buying multiple lots. Some items purchased were for my personal collection (which I'll note), some were purchased with the intent of resale (don't worry, I won't spam), and some I'm still trying to figure out why the hell I bought it other than it was a good price.
To start with, I'll post 2 of the individual items (non-lots) I have scanned, and will try to keep the thread regularly updated as I can (and if there is interest):
#1: 1953 Topps Satchel Paige BVG/JSA Authentic:
This Paige was one of those "Why the hell did I buy it" items. I put a bid in on it, figuring it wouldn't win. Whoops!
#2: 2001 Donruss Classics Legendary Lumberjacks Babe Ruth "Holiday 1 of 1"
I picked this one up for what I considered a cheap price. It may not be a true "1 of 1" since it was a Holiday present card, but I figured it was a cool item to have.
