Didn't someone once say that a fool and his money are soon separated?

Wowwww. I casually watched the REA auction. Whoever broke up their 1960 set just killed it.

I believe it is from Proverbs, actually.

You could get this EXACT one right now on COMC for $13. That pic on the left side of the card screams "Please do NOT hit it to me"!

Looks about the same! lol

PSA 8.5 sold for $180 in the same auction.

That's a very expensive 0.5 points to push the score on your set registry quest.

surely that 8.5 could have been made into a 9 for less $$$?

A VERY interesting quote from SABR:

A sense of modesty, along with his prolific hitting – especially at home – made Mejías a fan favorite in Houston. Media perceptions of Mejías were still framed through the lens of ethnicity, however – and his annual salary was just $12,500.

Yeah. For at least part of his career, he earned less per year than his card.

Only if you can get 9s. Which is few and far between from PSA.
