A bit OT : What does Strassberg speculation say about the vintage Mkt

[Misunderestimated]

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What if he gets hurt before the action ends how many bids would suddenly get "withdrawn?"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?

Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Prediction - in 7 years the card won't be worth $100. (Truth is that even if it is to some person, I could not care less...but I think it won't be.)

I get what you're saying. But i would argue even if he blows his arm out tommorow, I'd still pay 100 dollars for that card now in 7 years just to have as a conversation piece. This is beyond ridiculous now. I guess we'll see what happens and if ANY of these bidders actually pony up.....

I agree with most opinions.

1) Way too much $
2) People can spend $ on whatever they choose
3) It brings publicity...especially to Topps...who (as of 2010) own the rights to all MLB cards produced...Hmmmm.
