I don't think this has a happy ending for whoever wins this.

Last Night
Saw highlights of him pitching last night in the minors: wicked stuff! Ah, no on the card. Ugly card too!

1 of 1 and they can't even get the centering perfect? That thing should grade an 11, step it up Topps.

Hasn't this piece of crap already been talked about (and moved by Leon) from this VINTAGE card forum? Honestly wouldn't pay more than $5 for it...is this being advertised by the seller in these forums?

Once ever few years these cards come around, its fun to watch the bidding.
Even the non 1/1 Strasburg cards (there are others too) are getting good bids. Wonder if "Merkle" (K.O.) wins this shiny 1/1..... he has been known to win some of these newer "hype" cards in the past. Like that Gordon thing a couple years back. PS there are 968 watchers now, how many of them are you guys Last edited by fkw; 05-21-2010 at 08:28 PM. |

If you wouldn't pay more than $5 for it, that would be pretty dumb considering it will sell for over $10,000. Last edited by sportscardtheory; 05-21-2010 at 08:37 PM. |

Seriously, that is embarrassing they didn't get the centering right. I would guess that there are a few test versions of this card floating around in some Bowman employee's desk, it wouldn't be a fun day for the ultimate recipient of this card if some of those surfaced... tidbit: no #1 overall draft pick has ever won a cy young award. |

When these cards come up I always think about the guy who traded/sold his whole collection in pursuit to pick up every Rick Ankiel RC numbered to 100. It was the hot card at the time and going for decent money, I wonder if he is still working on them ?

Well, I guess the upside for the lucky buyer is.........even if he were to put it in his bicycle spokes, it would still be the highest graded card of it's type, extant. |

Fake Scarcity is all it is. Make everyone pay big bucks to try and pull the miracle. That price is ridiculous. I do hope the kid makes it tho, and I hope to see him pitch on tv at some point this year.
Maybe its my age, and my two stages of pack opening. As a real little one starting in 69, and playing the scratchoff games w my friend in 1970 packs, and then trading the coins in 71. Later, in 78 when I got back into it, playing whiffle ball and riding my bike w my friend Chris to 7-11 and buying 78 wax packs by the handful. and constantly seeing Woody Fryman, and screaming when one of those "trophy cards" came out. haha. Now, I still love the hobby and seeing a great item, but I see the new cards really are just "lottery now". The thrill of building a set, etc. seems to be gone. And yes, the Strasburg card itself.If I had 8000+ to spend on sports stuff, Id buy cool memorabilia or some awesome tobacco cards, not a single card that can blind you for life when the reflection off the sun hits your eyes. |

I used to collect modern golf cards (yes, I know). But anyway, Tiger and Phil Mickelson cards (autos and swatches) would flucuate wildly based on their performance week-to-week.
Remeber the Mike Vick rookie autos.... |
