Hey, that's my card!
.
I really like the Ten Million, and felt compelled to get one after seeking out the Obak building in Portland (using Mark McRae's directions, and following a nice lesson on PCL/NWL, etc). In addition to the cool name, I think it's a very nice looking card and like so many other T212s, has some funky cool background colors. I guess I agree with the others that it's value is probably a bit inflated, but for my sake I hope it stays there!
.. As far as over hyped, chalk up another vote for Titus... And 100% agree on post career cards like the PB Jackson. I'll add another to that list- 1932 US Caramel Ty Cobb.
