Back in 2001 people were paying stoopid money for Albert and Ichiro RCs I thought they were nuts. This card has gone up, even nuttier. I think the only way this card fails is if he does something stupid... I think it will hold it's value.

I don't think that is a relevant comparison. Baseball and baseball players don't hold near the connection with the youth today that it did in the past.
