It's funny to read that cards are commodities but I guess you can think of them as that. It only takes two people to want something so bad that the final hammer seems ridiculous to most. So, what happens after everyone that want's a "10" Reggie, gets the card? What's the card worth then? It's only one auction away from dropping 50% in value.
I'm not a huge Reggie fan but I tell you what, he could hit that ball and he was a very colorful player in his day. But I'd still rather spend my money on Johnson's, Jackson's and Ruth's so I'm hoping that the "10" Reggie buyers don't become too interested in real vintage stuff (maybe they are).
