Yes this sold for $1,170. I have a subscription to worthpoint and can see the prices.
WHAT?? PSA graded a piece of newsprint cut out from a Sporting News? And it was bid up to $1170. WHAT??
Was the edition of Sporting News that this came from a "short print?" Did most of the issues get burnt up before hitting the newsstand?
The list of crazy in this hobby is as long as anyone can imagine but this one has to rank in the top 10.
