Baseball cards 'cept a few of those really old Tobacco cards from the early 1900s look good tho

 

[Joe]

Some of them are surprisingly cheap.

 

[Alticus]

What an investment that card would be if one could afford it. I think Wayne Gretzky has one.

 

[Joe]

those are ancient and relatively scarce. I'd be game to get some of those.

 

[Alticus]

Yeah, old doesn't always mean valuable sadly.

 

[Joe]

Wayne Gretzky is more or less the entire Modern Hockey card Industry

 

[Joe]

Anything other than Gretzky doesn't really fetch a good price.

 

[Joe]

He's like the Johnny Cash or the Beatles of Modern NHL.

 

[Alticus]

If memory servs wasn't Gretzky's rookie card way overprinted?

 

[Joe]

If you wanna buy MODERN, Gretzky colletctibles the only thing to collect, the only way to go.

 

[Alticus]

If memory serves wasn't Gretzky's rookie card way overprinted?

 

[Joe]

The rest of the aren't worth that much, and most are too common.

 

[Alticus]

Yeah, makes sense.

 

[Joe]

When I mean MODERN, anything 1970s and UP.

 

[Joe]

Before that, the 6 team league is kinda SILVER AGE

 

[Joe]

meaning that's a different category, pre Gretzky, pre ORR

 

[Joe]

Orr is another who is expensive.

 

[Alticus]

Oh, I know. I once had a friend tell way back in the 90's that if you are going to collect cards for profit buy nothing after 1970.

 

[Alticus]

I can't say either way if he was serious/

 

[Alticus]

I can't say either way if he was serious.

 

[Joe]

I just like the Old Stuff. and it's not too common or too expensive, the Silver Age Hockey stuff.

 

[Alticus]

He was the kind of guy that liked fucking with people.

 

[Joe]

A Johnny Bower for $30? Why not

 

[Joe]

Or an autographed photo of Bobby Hull for $30. Cheap.

 

[Joe]

Hockey for the most part hasn't been infected with American Baseball league collectible prices.

 

[Alticus]

I can understand that. I met Bobby Hull.

 

[Joe]

So it's still affordable for the ordinary average fellow to buy.

 

[Alticus]

I understand. You do know that I was kidding about the Wagner card right? lol

 

[Joe]

So it's still affordable for the ordinary average person to buy.

 

[Joe]

Oh yeah I know.
