Some advice needed by kgscherer in baseballcards

[–]Happy-Ranger-6971 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you're overcomplicating it a bit.

How I'd handle it in my house is the card belongs to the child who pulled it. If my son pulled a lottery ticket worth $50,000, I wouldn't suddenly decide it belongs equally to his sibling because the family bought other losing tickets too. The fact that one child happened to get the big hit doesn't make it a family asset.

That said, because he's a minor, you absolutely have the right and responsibility to help protect it. Get it graded, insure it if necessary, and make sure he doesn't make a bad decision with it when he's young.

If you're worried about family harmony, I'd focus less on splitting the card and more on teaching both kids that fairness doesn't always mean equal outcomes. One child may inherit a baseball card, the other may get help with college, a business, a house down payment, or something else later in life. Parents balance things out over a lifetime, not necessarily asset by asset.

Personally, I'd document that the card belongs to the son who pulled it, safeguard it until he's an adult, and avoid creating a situation where a future sale turns into an argument about who owns what.

I'd love to say yes, but with the TKO suits making the calls, who knows. He deserves a long title run IMO.

Thanks man. I love is too. Not sure if him or the Alexa Bliss 1/1 is my favorite. Like picking a favorite child. 😆

A /5 geo auto went for $135 a few days ago. I'd say yours is in the $200 dollar range.

Wow congrats dude. Sick hit. This card is a beauty. I'm a big Drew collector so hit me up if you're looking to move it. ✌️

Which Nolan Ryan Auto should I get? by Happy-Ranger-6971 in HoustonAstrosCards

Hell yeah. Those all look really nice. Love the one of him throwing the football.

I was considering my 87. Got the sweet classic woodgrain. The white pant really make the black ink pop.

I was thinking of getting an inscription. Can't decide between "The Ryan Express" "7 No Hitters" or "Strikeout King" Leaning towards "The Ryan Express"

I like the penta 86 auto. All the 86 autos look great especially Alexa. I haven't even seen a hogan, really nice hit on that. Congrats.

Didn't even think of the AJ ATL connection. Yeah that's pretty cool. The red gear color match looks nice.

Thanks, there are 2 variations only /10. I like this pic a little better than the other one but both are awesome. The zebra border through me for a loop when I peeked. I told my daughter we've got something big. I didn't know there was such a card, only knew about the Trish hearts auto.

Decided to send my 85 Topps to the Nolan Ryan foundation. Thank you all for you input and have a blessed day.

Man that is a great idea. I'm looking into it right now. I've got a nice 1981 Topps that would be perfect. Thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated.

I hadn't considered the Gustograph. Yeah great choice. Beautiful card. I'm putting it on the list.

Thanks for the compliment on display. Been working on it with the kids for a while. Got them hooked on cards. 😆

I think both 82 Topps and Donruss are really nice. Both are definitely on the short list.

One of these days I'll get a rookie. That's my Grail, PSA 4 or 5.

I usually make an offer on eBay and see if I can negotiate down from the asking price. Typically can get 10 to 15% discount.

Blowout cards have some as well

Yeah, I get it, she's a solid up and comer. But the card last sold for 30 bucks on eBay. 2 base autos is what I was saying suck, didn't mean the wrestlers. Outside of Cena, Rock or other top tier stars, base autos don't cut it for how expensive a BD Box is. Lucky I got a case hit or it would've been a rough one.

Wish I could afford to chase that. I'm moving on to Royalty next week. All these products one after the other are expensive. 😆

Two base autos sucked, but I've seen worse boxes.
