Default 1979 Pete Rose insanity woah..........
Posted By: Paul

It's not just the abstract amount of money that's nuts. Presumably, the buyer is a card collector. Think of what else he could have gotten for the money. A really nice Old Judge hall of famer. A T206 Cobb in very nice shape. Or a nice W600 Sporting Life hall of famer. A decent complete set of Bowmans or early Topps cards. Or how about 2000 1979 Pete Rose cards. Why, why, why would somebody shell out thousands of extra dollars for the arbitrary opinion of some kid at PSA? Even if the opinion is accurate, the difference between this card and an otherwise-mint PSA5 with a hairline crease cannot be detected through the holder. Why pay for that?
