Maybe the player is doing an autograph signing and a dealer comes through and buys 50 of his cards from COMC to have available at the signing. Maybe he became a kid's favorite teacher after he stopped playing baseball. Maybe he's an uncle or grandfather now, and his relatives collect his cards.
I sell hundreds of dollars in modern cards of pet dogs on COMC. So it's whatever the market will bear. There are over 5,000 different sellers there. We all seem to have different pricing strategies.
No problem, I thought it would be about some variation or printing issue, and spent a bit looking for that before I read the post.

I hadn't thought of those things about why a card might be more than expected.
I was a bit excited about that price....
Now I'm intrigued about pet dog cards...

Ahh... the joys of ADD.
