In the 90's I went to a card show and bought a 71 munson that turned out to have been colored in in the corners to make it look higher grade. I didn't care and still have it.
I can understand why someone paid this!

There is always a story behind every purchase. Whether it is just for investment reasons, true collecting, or a story like your's.
I posted it not to slam, but to point out how crazy prices seem to be getting lately, especially thinking, since it's a "newer" so to speak card, that there are likely lots of those cards around?
