Why? No, it's not price (although those are carzy in my opinion). No it's because I think ... what would it have taken to get a card like this all these years later? Answer: A freak of a kid who did not play with or enjoy cards, or someone who has destroyed card history by cutting apart an uncut sheet. In either case, the back story on the card is such that I would never want it in my collection.
Sheldon Cooper can keep his cards. I'll go after the ones that Indiana Jones collected.

Or a 1955 Topps pack that remained unopened all of these years until some profiteer opened it up and sent in the Koufax card only to entomb it once again, it is now in a clear holder to be seen by it's admirers.
