This thread reminded me that when I used to set up at shows, I would have a blank piece of cardboard (the size of a modern card) in one of those 1/2 inch blocks of plexiglass along with a price tag of $12,000. I used it as an attention grabber to get them to at least slow down when passing my table.

When asked, I would tell people it was a scarce Pete Rose blank back blank front rookie card. It was sad how many people didn't "get it", shook their heads knowingly like they had heard of it or responded with serious murmers about the price. Oh well.... who knew that I coulda sent it to PRO.
