The $7500 price point really takes the cake. The clouds part, revealing a world of Ruths, Gehrigs and so much more once that kind of money enters the conversation.
Koufax was great, but he's really not in contention for a "The Greatest" argument. Sorry. You could pick up several Cobbs at that price, and he will forever be in contention as The Greatest. Or Cy Young, if you wanted keep the tired argument strictly to pitchers.
Tangent: Mike Bossy was definitely the Koufax of the hockey world; indeed, he may have out-Koufaxed Koufax with his similar story. Insane, almost unfathomable numbers over his ten seasons before his career succumbed to too much pain. Both Bossy and Koufax would have definitely been in contention for The Greatest if their careers weren't shortened. Bossy wasn't exactly keen on signing autographs, either, but never thought to charge exorbitant amounts.
