It will be interesting if the dozen or so examples of this card start showing up more often at auction houses. I believe there have been 2 at auction in the last 3 years but please fact check that. Point is there aren't many times you can pick one of these up!

the interesting thing to me when it comes to these ultra rare, insanely expensive cards is the mindset of the person who doesn't own one, wants to own one, and has the money to afford one.
they are exceedingly rare, and they dont come up for auction frequently. so, when one does surface, it must take real restraint to not just do whatever is needed to get one. if you can afford $1.3m for a baseball card, you can probably afford $1.5m or $2m or $3m, right? like, if you were the underbidder on this card last night, is your thought "eh, another will pop up soon and I can try again?"
