    I don't know, I'd have to check the latest guides.  I have
    Robin Yount and George Brett Rookies, along with a Walter
    Payton Rookie...  Haven't looked up the older cards in a while.
    Something else may have gone past them.

Well......

#1.

"my" most expensive card is a 1971 OPC CFL RC of Joe Thiesman. Picked it up for 
a fellow noter. Based upon a misprint in a price guide I got it for 75 cents 
rather than the $75.00 it was really worth.

Sent it down to the guy....

Got into CFL cards myself about a month later and this created the need for the 
same card. At that point, myself and everyone else became aware of the actual 
book value.

Embarrassed to admit I tried to scam the card back from the guy I bought it for.
Eventually realized I was about to throw away a longstanding noter-freindship 
over a "damned piece of cardboard" and pulled back (and apoligized)Still feel 
bad about what i tried to do. 

(Now have my own copy of it, unfortunately it has crystallized scotch tape 
residue along the top and bottom that I have so far been unable to remove.)

#2.

 My most expensive card (from a sentimental perspective) is my MINT 1985 Topps 
U.S.F.L. Doug Flutie RC which I later got autographed through his Dad.

 I have over 150 auto'd CFL football cards and this one, by far, ranks as my 
most valuable card. THE GUY IS FANTASTIC !!!

    My most expensive cards are.
    
    	1. Nolan Ryan Rookie in Mint condition.
    	   Not sure what I paid. It was in a box of cards that I bought
    from a guy at works brother in law. I bought the box in 1986 and it
    had approx. 450 cards from the 60's. Most were in fair shape. Got a
    couple of Yaz,Seaver,Clemente's and 2 Reggie Jackson Rookies in Mint
    condition. 8*)) I paid 225.00 for the lot. Not sure what the price
    of the Nolan was at the time, but the Jacksons were 60.00. Back then
    it was pretty easy to find cards at yard sales and in people at works
    attics. I used to offer approx. 50% of book to people getting rid of
    cards. I always told them to get a price from a shop before they sold
    to me. Nobody ever came back and had an offer over 25-30% from a shop.
    I sure am glad 8*)).

    I have a Jack Kemp Rookie, 1960 Fleer, Los Angeles Chargers.
    I bought it 7 years ago for $22.00.

    A 1956 Topps Willie Mays that is *mint mint mint*
    
    
    I traded a 1965 Mickey Mantle (EX-MNT) in exchange for the Mays and a 
    1963 Frank Robinson that was also mint.
    
    I paid $50.00 for the Mantle many years ago; Since the trade I think
    the Mantle has gone up cvonsiderably. I don't care too much; Mantle
    never meant much to me.

    I have the 1992 Cal Ripken Signature card from Donruss. it was part of
    a trade stamps for cards I made with a dealer. Not sure of the value
    but I like Ripken. 
    
    My most memorable memorabillia is tickets stubs from Nolan Ryans 6th
    and 7th No-Hitter. I also have a whole ticket from the 7th. $$$ isn't
    the important thing for me. I was at BOTH of them. Yep, traveled for
    DEC and was in Oakland for #6. May 1st a year later we were in Texas
    for a meeting and 8 of us wanted to see him pitch. Only 7 showed up.
    I had bought the tickets on my Visa so I had the 8th ticket. I kept it.
    Many have said why go to a game with me... no one ever gets a hit!
    
    
    Good topic, Thanks, Steve

I'm not sure if it's my most expensive card (but probably close) - but it is 
the card I've paid the most for.  Which also means my favorite (so far :-).

1971-72 Topps Bobby Orr in perfect shape.  Actually I have most of the Bruins
from that set (Espo, Bucyk, Cheevers, Sanderson, Cashman, etc), but the Orr 
card is the only one in mint condition and the only one I paid more than a few
bucks for.  It cost me $35 - which was about book at the time...

These old Bruins cards (plus some late '60s Bruins cards) are my favorite.  And
the only ones I'd ever consider paying any real money for.

    I Have many expensive cards ie ryan, seaver, Jackson, Gretsky, Jordan,
    but the most expensive is a 1951 Mantle rookie Bowman that is. Any
    serious buyers out there.
    
    Don

    Well, I had a 1951 Mays Bowman rookie, but I gave it to my brother.
    
    I was mint except for the two little tears in two corners where the
    tape was remove..... :-(

    HI DON,
    
    COULD YOU GIVE A PRICE ON THE CARDS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SELL!!

    THANKS ROGER

    My most expensive card is my Rich Gedman rookie card, I got it from 
    the Saint in his annual Baseball contest.  I'm so proud of that card,
    mostly because I won it in a contest, the only thing I have ever won,
    and I won it for coming in last in his contest, I guess  John called it
    the Boobie Prize.

    It broke my heart giving that one up for the contest.
    
    Go Marlins !

    I'm not a very dedicated collector of cards but I try to complete 
    1 hockey set a year. and pick up some super star cards each year 
    from each sport. 
    
    What got me going was about 3 years ago I got married and in packing to 
    move I came across a ton of my old hockey cards, all 69-73 cards.
    At that time I was about 9-10 so perfect age for buying these things. 
    
    I have 9 70-71 Bobby Orr cards! about 7 Espo cards various others 
    6 Marcel Dionne's, Dryden's and a 70 Bobby Hull that unfortunately I put 
    a bb blast right through his forehead! I take it he scored a back breaker 
    goal back then against the B's and I let him know how I felt 8*)
