Thats what makes collecting great. What appeals to one person may not to another but theres always someone to appreciate it. I just cant believe it went for 13k. The significance of that day is probably great to alot of people but for 13k to me personally i couldnt justify spending that amount unless it was aesthetically pleasing to me personally. If he was hitting the ball then i could see maybe half that price but for a shot of him simply rounding the base im just shocked.
