And boy, how times have changed. I'm thinking about a few years ago, when someone paid $17,000 for a baseball card of someone who, at that point, had never pitched a single game in the Major Leagues! (Stephen Strasburg) And if that wasn't enough, the guy who bought the card flipped it to someone else for $24,000!
