Posted By: <b>Cy</b><p>I know that a person can spend his money any way that he wants. But this is ridiculous<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=55917&item=5190330667&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=55917&item=5190330667&rd=1</a><br /><br />Can you imagine spending over $1500 on a 50 year old card of that great baseball immortal Jim Finigan? It books at $10!<br /><br />Cy

Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>My reaction to seeing a price like that is always to:<br /><br />1. Laugh<br /><br />2. Be thankful that these guys are spending their money on PSA 9 Wayne Terwilligers rather than on driving prices up even more on things that I like<br /><br />3. Repeat step 1 over and over again

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>He didn't buy the card, he bought the slab. Very sad, that is a few dollar card in any condition. I can't wait til the bottom drops out on the graded trash.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Why is there so much hatred towards non-pre-war high grade slabbed cards? Obviously the people interested in this card want it to have a 1 of 1, to increase the GPA on their set. Is that wrong? Its as wrong as paying $20,000 for a 1934 Goudey PSA 9, yet I don't see any complaints about that here.
