By the time this card hits auction there will be less intrest and there will already be a new chase card out there.

The initial acquiree is by happenstance perhaps but not so much on down the line. Besides the math is not good that you are going to attract a lot of new collectors for chances at a card numbered to 1. If you do I am not sure they are going to be in it for the long haul.
Hey we all started collecting for some reason or another. I guess the speculative gambling angle is a good a reason as any.
If only those folks at Butter Cream and Goudey would have had the foresight to short print a card of a player with no major league track record yet, imagine what those would be worth.
BTW, Matthew nice card! Would love to own, but would never buy packs trying to pull it.
