Appreciate the art, there are others who can. This is like someone collecting art rather than cards - how much would you pay for a hand painted card of your favorite player(s)? I had Stephen Burkett do a Yankees set for me a couple years ago, I think I paid him $10/card before he raised his prices - all original art... I sold the set later for triple what I paid for it at a card show. I honestly thought about having him do more pieces for me because they have such eye appeal as a whole. Personally I wouldn't buy them, I think the prices are ridiculous, and I wouldn't pay over a couple bucks for any of them unless it was someone/something I really wanted.
Also, maybe these people think in 100 years these cards will be "obscure" like some issues today ... Who knows...
My thoughts,
Sean
