Re: George Bush, Mickey Mantle on card w/ Jeter

Agree! Also look at the pete rose baseball, "Sorry I bet on baseball." Everyone went nuts over it and spend big $$ on them. Now, you can't give them away. When I saw the baseball, I knew it wouldn't amount to anything big, especially hold its value. Sometimes collector get too excited, too fast and don't think about the long term.

There are still folks out there willing to pay $400-500 for these baseballs...

Crazy if you ask me!!


Course, there are some out there that don't feel that $400 is crazy...

Not likely that others will concur with this guy's thinking... unless the "best offer" accepted is significantly lower!!
