You can pick up a new copy from one of Amazon's partners starting at $20. The most expensive seller is asking $124.

If used is OK, you can grab one for $13.


BarnesandNoble.com wants $25.60.

I don't think it's a mistake. He has several books listed for $1,000 which you can pick up on Amazon for under $30.

He probably knows that Black Sox material is expensive and in demand, and he's trying to cash in.

Well not that book...but artifacts from 1919 are. I'm not sticking up for the guy, he's a yahoo. I was just trying to figure out how one asks $1000 for a $20 item.

I honestly can't believe anyone is moronic enough to pay 1000.00 for that book.

He has 11,500+ "completed" auctions in the last 15 days. Looks like a handful actually had a buyer and the rest ended without a bite.

This business model might be broken.

I don't get it. Why 1000.00 books, its not just the Black Sox. Now, I wouldnt know anything about the "Quest for Meaning" as a rarity, but I think it should be called, the "Quest for Morons" ..What is it with this guy?

maybe they'll write a book about the people that pay $1000 for this book...they can call it "eight men out of their minds"

Hey Scott,
What an incredible bargain! Maybe I should e-mail the seller and see if I can buy 10 at that price. Whattya think?
