Trading Card Therapy - I bid $10,000 on a Shoeless Joe Jackson photo...and lost! 

Another great episode. Was great meeting you at Strongsville. I have one of the redemption coupons from Old Judge, that’s mentioned on your card.

I have always wanted a solid graded 1933 Goudy card to add to my novice collection, and bid several hundred dollars on and lost (a lot for me). I put myself out there and lost - can only imagine the feeling of that beautiful shoeless Joe photo

That Shoeless Joe photo is a stunner. I've gotten into type 1 photos recently, and may be headed down the proverbial rabbit hole. Picked up 2 Sandy Koufax type 1's at the Expo yesterday.

I tried to buy the Collin-McCarty Shoeless Joe a month ago in the REA auction before this one. I swung and missed. I made it happen this time though. I scored the 1916 Famous & Barr Shoeless Joe. I wasn’t going to be denied. I actually got it for what I thought was a fantastic price.

Back about 20 years ago, a T206 Plank was on ebay. I bid $16,100, and it went for $16,200. It still gnaws at me to this day, and probably always will.
