Grocery stores are empty - what's left have insanely inflated prices - and these "tycoons" are jacking up the price of a baseball card instead of giving back to their struggling country.
I'm a diehard Indians fan, and loved watching Omar play growing up. He was a magician. His stuff shouldn't be worth any more than the next borderline HoFer.
I hate this Transcendent crap.
