It's a crazy world we live in. I would love to meet one of these people and try to understand the thought process of 700k for a cheap piece of cardboard with a crappy photo on it.

At the peak of tulip mania, in March 1637, some single tulip bulbs sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman. Now it's Rose mania.
Not directly. I'm just saying that collectors who can afford a 50 mil Ferrari probably see baseball cards a little different than you or I do. Someone else asked if anyone thought the Rose was a good investment at 700k, and if so, why. I do feel it was a good buy. If it ever sells publicly again this sale will look like a bargain.
