2 - Let's say I sold the card on eBay for $3,000. After eBay fees and taxes, roughly half that money would be gone. I'd have possibly traded the card; however, losing half the sale proceeds to fees and taxes seems silly. (actually, silly is the "nice" word I'll use on a public message board.
3 - My copy was a gift from someone a couple years ago. Yes, I realize the card is mine to do with what I choose. I chose to treat it like part of my collection...not an opportunity to make a little quick cash.

Congrats on keeping your card. I'm saying if I knew what was going on, i.e.- Justin Verlander is on a spending spree. I would sell to Verlander.
I'm starting to think the people saying the prices will return to normal are right.
