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.

Most of the kids in my neighborhood would absolutely LOVE a Steiner authenticated Jeter ball for their birthday. They don't care what their Dad paid for it.
The irony is that Steiner probably sells to more pure collectors who don't care what it costs, or what it is worth, than people who buy the stuff that we discuss on this board that retains its value as a better investment.
