Pocket change for whomever bought it. If I could live in it I could have considered it.

I'd feed people before I spent that much on a baseball card. But, it is pretty sweet.

Less than 10 percent of that, and I no bills.
Wow.
Of course, shows you how poor I am, but a piece of cardboard is really worth more than I am?

The person with that level of disposable income probably does feed a lot of people.

Centering is not even that great!

it's all relative. a person who truly doesn't know where his next meal is coming from probably would shocked that someone would spend $100, $50 or even $10 on a baseball card. the sanctimonious comments that always seem to pop up when someone decides "too much" has been paid for anything are just that. just because you collect "low dollar" cards as defined by our hobby world doesn't mean that money couldn't be spent on better things. people in glass houses ...

Exactly. Now the person who sold the card can do just that.

I wasn't trying to open an ethical debate on feeding the poor vs buying a card. More that it's crazy the prices realized sometimes. I collect, but no matter how much I spend I always feel an element of guilt. Hobbies are silly but so are we. As a farmer, I actually do feed people so it is a relative comparison for me to make. I do think it's a super nice example of Gehrig though.
