Default Things That Make You Go Hmmm...

With all due respect to Arsenio Hall (and C+C Music Factory), what's the rationale here?
Does his PSA 10 just have much better eye appeal than the other perfect PSA 10s that are overpriced and sit unsold for about 1/100 of the amount?????

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Probably just hoping that someone accidentally clicks buy.

Although I’ve heard some people assert that it could be a money laundering front.

Or someone who wants to show that they are a resaler who shouldn’t pay sales tax, but doesn’t actually want to sell anything. Or if they do sell it, they’re only willing to sell for 100x the normal price.

It's odd that none of your possibilities were "because he's completely effin' delusional."

It’s always a possibility…but I suspect that’s not the case here.

You've both overlooked the obvious. The $25,000 card "benefits charity." Clearly, the seller is hoping to provide all but $250 to that charity. The other sellers are asking only about $250 and have nothing left to give to charity.
