Couple points:
My comment on the Gehrig card was not intended to slight collectors of modern cards but rather to note that there is no apparent nexus between Gehrig and the gem. Seems gimmicky to me.
No kids are buying Panini's Diamond rookie cards (Simmons). On the other hand, bidding shows five bidders with boatloads of transactions willing to pay > $10,000. I'm obviously missing something. It is hard for me to believe that prices based upon a contrived low supply will be maintained over time.
