I saw this months ago and didn't look deeper at the time, thinking it was a bunch of idiots playing around. I just looked and there were still a lot of ridiculous asking prices and more that were closer to "normal", but a lot that were small amounts too. I got to thinking...How many have actually sold and for what amounts?
Look at the sold listings for this card and prepare to be amazed at how easy it is to fool the masses! Assuming any of these are real sales, dozens have sold for a few bucks each and upwards of $20-30 sometimes.
Is it that easy to capture our attention these days? I suppose I can pick a random junk card, list it on eBay at an absurd price with a creative description acting sincerely like I expect to sell it for that price, float the listing across a number of online card sites to advertise the absurdity and stir up the conversation. Heck, look at the attention Jason Mars (sad I even know the name) got for his Wagner find!
SAD!

A lot made out of nothing.
