A lot has been said already on this thread, so I'll look to keep it rather short. I can see paying $250.000 for a Wagner T-206, or another true rarity that only has say 50-250 total examples in existence. My hang-up is basically I can understand paying $20-30K for a Clemente 10. I love vintage cards. But to pay what it would cost to buy a house ( or 2-4 houses depending on what part of the country you live in ) for a baseball card, that has hundreds of really nice looking copies that could be bought from between $2,000-$10.000. I just don't get it. But that's what makes the hobby great, is that everyone likes different things, etc... In conclusion, I really can't see these Young cards selling for this much ever again. I think that he caught lightning in a bottle by offering them all at once.
