Field of dreams for sale: $5.4 million

[MacDice]

I hear Upper Deck is going to buy it, chop it up and then make it into some new cards

I would easily pay a 2-3x premium for a baseball field that has Deadball Era ball players coming out of the adjacent corn to play ball on each day. call me crazy, but that seems like it's worth a few million!

Edited to add: and just think how much business you could funnel over Roach's corner for new signatures of dead ballplayers that are legitimate!

The investment potential is huge.

People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn into the driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. 'Of course we won't mind if you have a look around,' you'll say. 'It's only twenty dollars per person.' They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it; for it is money they have, and peace they lack.

At $20 person, you'd only need 270,000 visitors to make your money back.

If Im gonna drop 5 million, it is NOT going to be for a bunch of corn rows in Iowa.

My opinion may be heresy, but that movie was remarkably over-rated. JMO.

The book was 10 times better than the movie. I know that is often the case but the book is a must read, even if you have seen the movie.
