Agree, and I'll elaborate. I can't understand how someone can take a couple of modern signatures, remove the patch from a couple of readily available gamers, and manufacture a modern product, just 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches of cardboard, that someone would pay $12 million dollars to obtain.
As someone else mentioned, full gamers of these 2 players could be obtained for far less. The concept of a 1/1 card doesn't mean that's the only thing ever signed by both these guys, or that their signatures or gamers are particularly rare. It just means a company made a card and only made one.
It's not like the US mint only struck one coin with a certain date and mint mark, or the post office only made one sheet of stamps with an upside-down airplane. It's just a manufactured rarity, but not really rare in the context of all the various card manufacturers, and all the various 1/1 cards produced over the years.
