Dmitri Young collection prices!? WHAT!

[hcv123]

Is it only me or is anyone else completely FLOORED by some of the final prices for the Dmitri Young Ccollection - Clemente Rookie 432K!! Aaron Rookie 357K! Rose Rookie 157K! Unbelievable - who is buying these cards!!

Sadly I suspect people looking to enhance and diversify their investment portfolios, who care not a bit about those players, or the cards themselves...for whom these cards are nothing more than commodities to be locked away until they've matured and can be flipped for a 20 percent profit...sad.

Yep, I agree. Sad.

I also agree, sad, especially for anyone hoping to turn a profit at those prices.

The Clemente was purchased by a collector who posts on the PSA message board (EOMint). He says that the Rose and Aaron were purchased by a friend of his.

What about a 77 MARK FIDRYCH for $3,493. I can't imagine paying more than $10 for a person who had a four year career.

another one that got me thinking was the 90 FRANK THOMAS NNOF - $24,244

or how about the Johnny Ray card... or they like to call it Barry Bonds error $2,125

The prices of the Clemente, Aaron and rose 10 have probably tripled in 4 years.
