Just wanted to know who holds the title of the "Person who spends the most" on single cards. How much was the highest you've ever spent on a card?:pop2:

George from beckett spent $11,500 on a single card. I also know Jdworley has spent a ton on single cards but not sure what his highest was. The most I spent was around $750, was for the Vernon Davis SPA logo. I got rid of it within that year to buy some Jerry Rices.

I spent 1500 for the card in my avatar. 2k for heavyhitters bgs 9.5 sp gold that I traded him :sign0020: and 1100 I think for my ultimate 1/1 holmes auto logo rookie and certified black 1/1 dual auto logos combined. 1200 for the lynch sp 1/1 logo that I lost 150 on when I decided me collecting lynch was not fun. YIKES!

Mack the winner of that card is wordmousexpert' brother in law. It will be available when his wife gets a whiff of it.. He does not have a seller account so wordmouse sells them for him when the guy needs money. That helmet logo piece is sick in that one! Worth the 200 dollar bump IMO

Logo patch cards spends a ton of loot and jdworley. SO I would say those 2

Crazy responses, I could never drop that kind of dough for a card. The most I ever spent for a card was $120.

:confused0068:........yall have some amazing cards!... :confused0068::confused0068::confused0068: People up in Pittsburgh must be rich.

I remember when I first heard of Exquisite and wondered what kind of lunatic would drop that kind of money for cardboard. Then I got back into the hobby myself and became one and find myself spending money I never knew I would.

By the way, the most I've ever spent was a little over $800 for one card.

:sign0020: Never say never, I didn't think I would ever do the same as well. I guess when you have some extra cash or a credit card with a high ceiling you do crazy things with money.

Yeah if I knew that card would be available, I would've waited for it....I've seen them all 5 on E-bay at least once and thats the nicest one I think. Its the one pictured in the Winter '04-'05 issue of Beckett Football Plus in the article "Best of Big Ben". I am quite happy just to own one of them though. :sign0020:

#1/1 from the 05 Pro Bowl

long story short when i was 15 i won an all inclusive trip to that pro bowl stayed in a sweet hotel with tons of players and the first football card i bought was a Peyton pro bowl jersey from that game. he was also the mvp of the game, so i just had to have it.

Lol most I have ever spent on any were what I pulled out of packs. Bought $5 pack of UD in 05 and ended up with $1800 off the one pack, I just hope I get lucky and stay away from buying the super high end.

The most I have ever dropped in cash for a single card was for the 1998 Manning Contenders Auto. I bought it when it was still going up and it set me back 1,800.00. It has become a great investment, but will likely never leave my collection.
