This is true, but these Fathers, Sons and whoever else would almost certainly have to be non collectors and not realize the inflated price. If my wife bought a $600 Jeter baseball for a gift for me I would return it that day.
Perhaps this type of purchase will give birth to new collectors who will learn in time fair market value. Stiener will have to keep selling to new hatchlings with every new endevour and this may get harder and harder. In the end Steiner has enough bank if it all ends tonight he would'nt care.
