I don't get it

I don't get it. $130.50 + tax and shipping for a signed 1984 Topps Blyleven.

Must be the miscut back.

It's weird how well centered it is on the front and so badly centered on the back.

Not sure either. And it's from GMC, so a legit seller.

Interesting. I cannot figure out why this raw card sold for so much. It received 11 bids and a quick review of the bids reflect several different bidders. Beyond me, as you can Buy It Now a 1971 autographed rookie, PSA 10 (auto grade) for 80 or so. I wouldn't even want to own a card with such a bad back - if that's the reason.

Strange, any further thoughts?

I have discovered that finding logic in what people collect is pointless. We all probably scratch our heads on different things we wouldn't spend 1/10th the price for, then turn around and drop 10X the price on something only we and of course at least 1 other collector (thank you buddy for either bidding me up or beating me!) must have.

It certainly seems odd for sure though, as that card should be no more than a $10-15 card otherwise to most of us who might collect non-certified autographs, if that. It's not a rare signature or card, so the only answer besides sheer craziness is the misaligned back must have really turned at least 2 people on.

After my reply, I saw this. I am going to invoke my right to say this is insane, but clearly others do not agree with me!

It seems like a ridiculous price for a mascot card, but apparently it's an SSP. He's had two other cards and his 2020 card only has three graded at PSA. It's hard to believe that a mascot named Blooper has three baseball cards.
