Only way to sell this card on eBay is to have a buy it now which includes an immediate payment required.



Some funny post here in the last few hours.

It will be interesting to hear after the auction what this was all about. One possibility is the seller won't get paid. Another is whoever is bidding is going to buy a million dollars worth of PR.

What's certain is the winning bidder is not attempting to complete a 2010 Bowman set, and this is the last card he needs.

Default Just a thought...

I'm fairly certain that WALMART sells Topps & Bowman, and history does tend to repeat itself...

IMO, this auction has climbed beyond the realm of a publicity stunt. I have worked for a lot of small companies and start-ups that sometimes used these methods. It was usually due to not having enough money for any real PR. A top notch PR firm could really get your company known for this kind of coin. Heck, you could probably get Strasburg himself to endorse you for that money!

No, I think this auction is genuine crazy. I will probably be tracking this card for years to come.

Jesus on toast only went for about 10 grand.

Jesus on cardboard.............well that's a whole 'nother story.

Wonder if this Strasburg fella can walk on water.

I don't think you can enter 7 digits before the decimal place, that's why bidding has stopped... it would be odd that several guys would bid 999,999.99 but in no way are they gonna bid one million, that's just too much!


If he can't walk on water, can he part the sea?

FRODO will touch it, and maybe Sam, then you can bid

This is obviously a scam with fake bids, some perhaps from people who are caught up in the sheer idiocy of this situation, and are just fooling around.

I would like to see what happens if Strasburg gets shelled in his next outing. If the auction is still going, are the bidders going to pull out?

I still think that something fishy is going on here. Who would bid almost 1 mil for a player what has only played 3 major league games?

It is 100 pct fake, must be.

The Taxman cometh too for the "seller" of this fantastic piece of history

Now: a Sales pitch for anyone on here thinking of bidding:

the best 1/1 card extant. Do not miss your opportunity to be a part of history, and the career of this true Superstar in the making. What are the limits of this amazing card? BOUNDLESS, just like Steven Strasburg's career. Is it a lot of money? Yes, but you need to spend money to make money. You will be the envy of all of your card collecting friends. Gold, Platinum, Diamonds, why buy those ? Get in on the ground floor and be on top of the world with Strasomania. BID NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

The t206 Honus Wagner NM-MT 8 sold for 2.8Mill> Can this Strasburgh reach 2.9Mill? I hope it does and he than turns into Fernando Venezuela!!!!!

Do you think the guy's in the locker room are giving him crap about this?

There is no way this card will sell during this auction. The seller does not require bid registration so any idiot with an eBay account can hike the bidding up to a billion dollars if they wanted.

I can't wait to see what happens with this though and to see what it really sells for.
