I think this has gone beyond bidding on a baseball card. I can't believe that anyone, even the high bidders, believe this is worth a quarter of a million dollars, and I still think it has a long way to go. Maybe a million dollars at this rate.
So I think bidders are buying something else. Maybe being able to say you bought the most "valuable" modern baseball card is worth something to somebody, I'm really not sure. But these bidders are perceiving this card in some unique way.
