What's certain is the winning bidder is not attempting to complete a 2010 Bowman set, and this is the last card he needs.  |
IMO, this auction has climbed beyond the realm of a publicity stunt. I have worked for a lot of small companies and start-ups that sometimes used these methods. It was usually due to not having enough money for any real PR. A top notch PR firm could really get your company known for this kind of coin. Heck, you could probably get Strasburg himself to endorse you for that money!
No, I think this auction is genuine crazy. I will probably be tracking this card for years to come.
