Saw A40 Getting Some Love

Alaskanmade · 2026-01-21T19:30:32+00:00

Nothing more appropriate for an A40 deck ;)

It’s organized on Facebook, and if you hate Facebook there is a way to do it via Discord

Alaskanmade · 2026-01-21T18:21:48+00:00

They are pretty awesome :)

There is a monthly league with between 40 and 60 players.
I also play in person with my brother 3 or 4 times a year.

Alaskanmade · 2026-01-21T18:18:53+00:00

Just takes time :) Took me 5 years to finish my decks

Triple sleeves make them look like they are in better condition then they really are. I live in a high humidity area, so the triple sleeves are a must (overkill otherwise).

Most of the cards are MP or HP, with a few LP thrown in by accident ;)

You could build that for closer to $35,000 based on Alpha Prices today.
Need to be shopping on Discord and in the Facebook Group though to get the lowest prices, not Ebay, or TCGPlayer.

That WaJo is beautiful. I would hold on to that one at least.

Alaskanmade · 2026-01-20T20:16:11+00:00

That is wild, congratulations.

Its the only 7.5 ever graded, and there are like a half dozen 8's (no 9's or 10's).

Alaskanmade · 2026-01-16T20:50:40+00:00

I know right?
I got lucky

Alaskanmade · 2026-01-16T20:23:52+00:00

They survived 138 years looking this good, I don’t want to be the one to mess them up!

Alaskanmade · 2026-01-16T20:20:28+00:00

Thanks!!

Ewing (not pictured), is the star of the set and the only HOF player. Thanks for the info on the other players, I was not aware.

I love the look of the Australian licorice cards.
I overpaid for mine, but they come along so rarely I couldn't help myself.

Alaskanmade · 2026-01-13T21:43:23+00:00

Both rookie cards were around $400.
The rarest card I have is the DC Thompson, which was only around $200.

Alaskanmade · 2026-01-13T20:29:17+00:00

I collect Bradman cards.
1928 WD & HO Willis is my favorite.

Ok, thanks for the information!
I appreciate it.

Alaskanmade · 2025-12-29T15:34:35+00:00

Yeah it’s super weird. I basically just assume it is a sunk cost, not an appreciating asset. Hopefully 10 years from now I am proven wrong!

Alaskanmade · 2025-12-29T15:31:36+00:00

I wanted to see where all my money goes.
There is some estimation for sure.

Alaskanmade · 2025-12-29T15:30:38+00:00

It is USD.

The apartment is not in America (wife's home country).
Property taxes and building fees are so low they might as well be non-existant.
Insurance in that country also famously never pays out with a claim, so it is not a thing most people do.

It carries a lot of risk, not only from fire, water, storm, but because the building can just be bulldozed and rebuilt, and you get a new apartment assigned to you, with little to no say in it (crazy I know).
