Overpaying for Vintage Cards, Part III

Last time I posted one of these, I mentioned the weekly Greg Morris auctions of lower grade cards. One commenter said that they have gotten pricier and harder to win lately. Still seems to be some values out there, though maybe I'm still overvaluing some of these. These are from two Fridays ago - I spent even more this past Friday. I really have to rein myself in with these.

None of these are really bad purchases, but most probably would have come to me eventually in trades or gotten lucky in a cheap lot. Guess I'm just a little less patient for that these days. '72 Munson $4. '58 Brown $2. '60 Robustelli $1. '70 Topps football checklist $2. '62 Post Skowron $1.'61 Reds Heavy Artillery $2.  '70 Kaline $3. '71 Jenkins $1 '72 Reggie $3. '70 Reggie $3. .'61 Bunning $2. '61 Howard $1. '61 Groat $1.'61 Fox $1.  '61 Aparicio $2.'67 Koufax LL $2. '63 Cardwell high number $1. '63 Klippstein high-number $1. '72 Riggins RC $1 '68 Perez $1. .'69 Killebrew $1.  '62 Orioles $1. '69 Giants $4. '62 McCarver RC $2. '64 John RC $4. '64 Oliva RC $6. '61 Billy Williams RC $13.

Reds Heavy Artillery was the dumbest purchase, I forgot I already had it. A few others here I probably overpaid for. Still very excited for the Billy Williams RC, that's a great card and pretty reasonable at $13. I love the photo on the McCarver RC, great background. '72 Munson completes my Munson Topps run so that is very exciting. I also love the Giants photo on the '70 football checklist.

Elsewhere on eBay . . . 

$13 for 191 different 1969 MLB photostamps is a good deal. Lots of HOFers, this isn't even all of them. Many of the dupes are going to OBC but if you have any needs let me know. I'm down to nine needs now, almost all HOFers.

$2 for this card - I probably would have gotten it cheaper eventually, but not bad I guess for one of my few remaining lower number needs for 1968.

$17 is probably too much for this card, but Clemente is one of the biggest stars in the '68 set.

$4 for a chewed up Kelloggs, but Mays is one of the very very few who would be worth it.

Do I get an F grade for spending $6 on this? Possibly.

$2 for '72 Reggie. OK for a first series card that seemed elusive.

$5 for this card is OK. Banks is one of those players that I think should be more expensive then they end up being.

This card looks like it not only was someone's wallet card, but even went in the laundry a time ago. It feels very fragile in person. Still, I know $12 for a '63 Mays is pretty good.

$13 is definitely too much for Post, even if it is Clemente.

With combined shipping these were $6 total. Not bad for two HOFers and a '48 Bowman (Wyrostek).
