I just want to jump in here and talk about the actual card in question here. Of all the Koester's Bread cards that Stengel and the Jesse Burkett are far and away the most desirable and they both extremely tough to find. I have seen 3-4 total for sale in the last 5-10 years, and that was only the second one not part of a large group or part of a sheet. The asking price the buyer/seller is looking to get is perhaps a bit high but nt outside the realm of reality here as it does display nicely and is perhaps the nicest one I've seen for sale individually. The only other one I had seen I purchased and was ECSTATIC to get it as I had been looking for the card for many years. If I didn't already own one I would have bid much higher than the card originally sold for.
Here's mine
I'd suggest people actually know what they are talking about before making stupid accusations here, and this coming from the OP is funny, you can't make this stuff up!
