I agree 100%. I know it pisses a lot of people off when they see something sell for so much more than anything in their possession and cannot see any value in the item that sold for so much - human nature, I guess.

As always unless something nefarious is happening - the market determines the price at the time of the sale.

If we didn't have modern collectors that are willing to spend money to collect, or invest, our hobby would end up just like stamp collecting - virtually worthless monetarily.

Oh, regarding the grade - I see so many people state "Buy the card, not the grade". That's what someone did in this case, yet someone posted it's only a 6. Damn, if it was a 10 it might have sold for $20M!

Congrats to the seller, buyer and Heritage!
