Scott Ireland bought it for his PSA Registry set. One of 6 PSA 8s, the other 5 being locked up in collections by the likes of Marshall Fogel, Charlie Merkel, etc. that won't see the light of day til their heirs get the cards. Similarly, a #55 Pat Malone PSA 8 went for around 16K I think (after the juice) a few months back. This isn't a case of people buying cards thinking of it as an investment. This is a case of people with gobs of money, where $20K is nothing to them compared to completing a goal of theirs. There are many millionairs out there, and probably a ton of billionaires too. Surely some billionaires are baseball card collectors too.
