Dmitri Young collection prices!? WHAT!

Sadly I suspect people looking to enhance and diversify their investment portfolios, who care not a bit about those players, or the cards themselves...for whom these cards are nothing more than commodities to be locked away until they've matured and can be flipped for a 20 percent profit...sad.

Yep, I agree. Sad.

I also agree, sad, especially for anyone hoping to turn a profit at those prices.

The Clemente was purchased by a collector who posts on the PSA message board (EOMint). He says that the Rose and Aaron were purchased by a friend of his.

What about a 77 MARK FIDRYCH for $3,493. I can't imagine paying more than $10 for a person who had a four year career.

another one that got me thinking was the 90 FRANK THOMAS NNOF - $24,244

or how about the Johnny Ray card... or they like to call it Barry Bonds error $2,125

totally nuts no matter which way you slice it.

It's funny, because Dmitri Young had someone buy these for him so the prices wouldn't be driven up by the sellers. Then he turns around and sells them with his name put on the slab to drive the prices up. Smart business man!
