Seriously? I beg to differ based on the last 30 years of card collecting. The only way you can lose your shirt on a $10,000 pre-war card is if you paid way more than it was worth. It isn't going to go down in value.

That is a pretty huge caveat. You can't lose money unless you pay more than something is worth. LOL Assuming there is no shilling going on, a card is worth what someone is willing to pay in an honest auction at that point in time. Of course, I know that pre-war cards hold their value far better. But there seems to be a lot of angst in this thread over how other people choose to spend their money or collect.

Every one of us who ever won anything in an auction paid more than anyone else on the planet (who knew about the auction) thought it was worth (or could afford to pay). So, should any of us really expect to make a profit on anything we win at auction, if we have already outbit the market?
I notice this Kris Bryant card is number 5 of 5. Wanna bet that numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 added together don't bring half what this one will sell for? |

and to the topic, 10k for that card, to me (personally) is crazy....but I wouldn't doubt what I do is crazy to whomever bought it. As someone mentioned I would rather that buyer spend 10k on that than running me up on something I collect .

I missed the angst. Maybe that's something that you are expect people to be thinking, but it's not really there - I doubt anyone cares how anyone else spends their money. In Cleveland, I got to see first-hand, all the kids AND grown-ups getting all excited about the new cards, digging through boxes and boxes of brand-new cards that had been, I guess, busted out of packs. It seemed like a great thing to me. I just am not knowledgeable enough to participate in the same searches, but I did wonder what it would take to gain that sort of market knowledge.

No opinoin on someone spending that type of money. It is their prerogative. The card itself is such a horrible photoshop job. I cannot tell if they put his face on someone elses body, or if they dropped an oversized Cubs helmet on top of his image. Smiling while running to first - SERIOUSLY???. Plus, the jersey color looks too blue, almost cartoonish.
