BobI am not surprised although I am stunned at how expensive this madness is. I do slightly and respectfully disagree, however, with the attempts to correlate the obsession with this "variant" to our collecting pieces of cardboard because the cards are 100 years old and have survived time and numerous paper drives from WW1 and WW2, much less moms throwing them out.
Maybe you could draw a parallel to the Magie T206 but please don't lump me in with the guys who spend "stupid money" (as my friend Pete Calderon used to call it) for these Ruth figurines which Jethro accidentally caused to have blue hats instead of white at the assembly line.
I think it's apples and oranges but that's just my 2 cents....
