Again, all just my opinion. It's all relative of course, money could be meaningless to the winner. But to me, that price is dumb.

The price was high but not surprising. It's a very early Cobb PC (arguably a first card), a very popular image of Cobb and it's the highest graded by far. A decent, low graded version costs 3K. 10K for a very high grade of it, very rare for its grade? If I was spending 10K on a PC, that would be one I'd consider (if I had all the other PCs of Cobb I wanted too).
