Ridiculous

[icollectDCsports]

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.

His red refractors have sold in the $100k range. $500k isn't as absurd as it sounds. Honestly if it went to auction I couldn't see it hammering for less than $200k and I know offers of more than that have been tried with this item. If you want to mock it feel free, but it is the most important single card of the past 25 years of baseball cards and at the end of the day the modern hobby is no different than the one celebrated here.

But the next morning after the alcohol wears off, it's quite different.

Of course, he only needs to sell one at that price to prove us all wrong...stranger things HAVE happened (but, don't ask me for a specific instance)

Makes that Stephen Strasburg 1/1 that sold for $16K sound like a real bargain.

Or the Yasiel Puig Superfractor that sold for $18,000. Wonder what they would sell for now.

I actually love going over to the BO forums and watching people say how these cards are worth so much $. A few years later after a game of hot potato 99.9% are bargain bin cards.

Trout is the IT player now but he isn't even as good as Pujols was. As soon as he has a bad year or injury his card prices will drop like a rock of a very tall cliff.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? The seller is very, very reputable and well known in high end modern cards.
