I need help deciding if I wanna buy a card... :(

[pennst4life]

He sent me a counter offer of $105 for a 2004 steven Jackson tools rookie premiere auto BGS 9.5/10

Should I accept it? I'm a huge rams fan but idk if it's a good deal

04 TOPPS ROOKIE PREMIERE... (http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=260686042909&index=3&nav=SEARCH&nid=17421769016)

If you can afford it and you are happy with the card then yes it is a good deal.

I don't understand the sad face, you are sad that you actually can afford to buy a $100+ card??

Haha no I'm sad because idk if I should buy it

[bigdaddyblue73]

If you don't know you shouldn't.
IF you buy it and are sorry it's too late.
IF you do not buy, well they still make cards and another one you like will come along soon.

[pennst4life]

The thing is it's a 9.5 bgs so that makes it worth more and also idk if there are anymore

What would prevent you from buying the same card somewhere else and having it graded yourself?

[pennst4life]

Because most cards will only get a 9 bgs

[bigdaddyblue73]

I see.

Well here is my 2 cents:

Who grades the card? Beckett
Who issues price guides on the cards? Beckett

Something smells fishy ta me.

[cowboysfan2010]

i wouldnt cause that $105 could pick up something better than that but if you really are interested in this card go for it. It doesnt matter what we think its what you think

[jlzinck]

Rule of thumb:

If you feel the need to ask members of a sportscard forum if YOU want to buy a card you probably shouldn't buy it?

I only wanted opinions on if it would be a good investment

I've been hearing that cards in general are not a good investment. This is a hobby bro if you need to make money over time try stocks.

[asujbl]

I wouldn't buy it - but I hate graded cards. That's my opinion on it.

I mean investment on my rams collection.

????????????? Do you collect your Rams to have them and look at them or so that one day you can sell them for $$? I'm really confused here.

[pennst4life]

I collect rams as a hobby not as a money making process. I just wanted to know if this was a good deal. When I said investment I meant it as towards my rams collection

Agreed!! Do you know how many BGS 9.5s are in population?

[PackAttack419]

if you want/like/love the card, then sure, buy it now (or buy it eventually, b/c i'd imagine someone out there would sell it for less than $105, but perhaps not graded), but if you're looking at it as an INVESTMENT, then i dont think it's a good one. yes the rams are up and coming with bradford under center, but i believe steven jackson's best numbers are behind him, but that's jsut my 2 cents

[BroncosFAN#1]

If you have the money, buy the card. I will buy cards of my PC players. I have some nice S-Jax cards actually and would give u a good deal but a BGS 9.5 is a nice card and its a RC. If its PC and you have the money, buy it.

[George19]

I already bought it, so you wouldn't have to wonder anymore if you should. Close thread. :)

You just contradicted yourself.

Only a focused collection would mean something. Price is a secondary consideration. You sound as if you are going to flip your collection on day. If you think like that, then you won't ever be happy with what you have. Maybe you should step back and see which direction your collection is going/has taken you. If you have others vote for something you re3 not sure of, then perhaps you have lost focus. What you need to keep in mind is that there will ALWAYS be cards. And because of that, at least 90% of all cards today will drop and steady itself. Don't look at it as a missed oppurtunity - think of it as reserving for something better in the future.
