The is definitely a "to each his own" item. The estimate says it could go for 100k+. If I was buying it to keep, I wouldn't pay $5 for it. Obviously for resale purposes I'd pay a lot more, but it would also be sold in the next upcoming auction. No desire whatsoever to have a cartoon drawing of baseball players in their skivvies, and could you imagine the reaction you would get when you showed this to non-collectors and tell them how much you paid?
I think there is a reason these things are rare. Who in their right mind would save them in the first place, especially back when they had zero resale value?
