I am the new owner of this card. As you know, i won it from REA (at the last second, right before 3:00 am). I was the 5th highest bidder in the previous auction (Heros of Sports) where the card was sold for $26,715 and mad at myself for not pursued it more aggressively. The guy who won it from HOS then posted it on ebay, asking at least $40,000 (contacted him several times, and it was the lowest that he was willing to sell). Then he listed the card on REA. Before i placed the bid on REA, i spoke with REA and was told that the consigner wanted a quick flip. I know many members here thought the realized price was overpriced, but based on my knowledge, there are only 2 gem mint example of this card. The PSA 10 belong to Dmitri Young and he is not going to sell, so the SGC 98 is probably the best card in the market. I am just glad that i saved almost $7000 in less than 6 month and own the best card out there for the hit king. I don't feel that i overpay, because i believe you have to pay to get the highest quality, and to me, it certainly worth it. The price is less than buying a brand new Toyota Camry!!!
