Ridiculous
OK...can I just point out how ridiculous this BIN price is?

That's just insane. I wasn't aware that it was listed for a while. The seller is holding tight at half a mill for a while then. I wonder if he lowered it any point. I just can't get over $500,000 for a modern card. Trade a home for a card.

I don't know -- I think you shouldn't ignore the fact that its a "Superfractor." And Chrome -- can't forget about that. Both of those things make it special. Had it not been a chrome superfractor, then -- of course -- the price would be ridiculous.

Darn it. I was going to offer him $499,000 for it, but then I saw what a rip off his $500 shipping is, so I walked away.

This card is essentially the 52 Topps Mick of modern cards. This is THE modern Holy Grail.

^^exactly what this gentleman said^^
In the last 25 years there are several cards that people said, this is the 52 Topps Mantle of modern cards. None of them turned out to be and I highly doubt this one will either. It is way too early in his career for that talk. Yes I do understand the hype to make $ but that is all it is, hype. I truly don't understand WAR especially when Trout has a higher WAR than Pujols. In every offensive stat besides stolen bases Pujols had way better #'s in his early years. |

It over rates certain positions like CF and SS. That is my biggest problem with WAR. You can use it to compare to Centerfielders, but not 1B and CF.

Even comparing SLG rank over the 5 years Trout ranked at an average of 3rd for the league, Pujols average rank was 4.6. So even though Pujols numbers are higher he wasn't the better player when compared to his counterparts (if you base it off these type of stats).

Andy(or anybody else) if you would like to PM me sometime to try to explain this stuff a little better I would greatly appreciate it. It just makes no sense to me at all. If there is a good website that explains all this stuff in a for dummies way that would be great also. I could see how WAR and the Black Ink would work great for players playing at the same time and position but using it to compare players of different positions and years makes no sense to me. |

I think it's very cool that you and Brent have your fingers on the pulse of the modern card market - I have no feel for it. With vintage cards, I know my Babe Ruth card may go up or down in value, but it won't be because he started playing poorly, got busted in a drug test or got traded to the Mariners.

No, it won't. Not until someone comes along and performs even better than Trout to start a career. Which is far from a given.

Better start? Based on a made up stat that is flawed and random. It is even calculated differently by two different sites and the method of calculation has been changed by one of them. As I said before, it can't even be used to compare players at different positions. |

Well, good for you and those 30 years. It finally happened. I don't expect to see another start like Trout's to start an MLB career in my lifetime. Where did I ever mention war or anything along those lines? Or even talk about stats? And, aren't all stats made up. Edited: and I personally don't care for war
