Leon made a good point. It's quite possible that many of the bidders at the high end are in the process of starting businesses and just need some kind of splash to get off the ground. Clearly whoever wins this card will have his face on TV and in newspapers, so maybe that's what he's buying. Because baseball card wise, he's getting virtually nothing for his money.

I agree with you guys and would clarify my view that there's nothing wrong with the purchase, even if just because the buyer likes the card alot.

At least the autographed card is going for more money..... That seems like a better value than the super-duper-duper referactor thing...

It's kind of funny how alot of people think these bidders are crazy (I do too).
Everyone in my family thinks I am crazy for spending the money that I do on cards. I'm sure all of you has at least one person like that around you so I guess now we know how they feel. I think it's good that modern card manufactures have figured out a way to make cards valuable again. They made opening packs exciting. Good for them. As time goes by, the hobby needs new collectors and that's what its getting. Remember, we need new generations of collectors for our cards to hold their value too. Otherwise our children won't get half the money we spent when they dump our collections

Really?
Nearly a million $ for the autographed card.... and this is after SS's first loss.
What if he gets hurt before the action ends how many bids would suddenly get "withdrawn?" (a little bad luck and he's the next Mark Prior, right.) I guess the sale price will set some records (what is the record for a card sold on eBay? How about the record for a memorabilia/autographed card? or the record for a card issued by Topps (what's the high price for a PSA 10 (or whatever) 52 Topps Mantle?
