Anybody else notice that the end of the description has a list of currencies one can use to pay for this beauty, including Bitcoin?

"BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, LTC, NEO, DASH, IOTA, & EOS."

I can't even identify another one without Googling it...

Might be kinda fun to take your $4 million payment in Bitcoins and check back in a few years to see if you've become a billionaire or a cautionary tale.

If there are PSA 10s and that one is a "just" a 9 -- what could possibly be the difference.
I love to (in person) see them side by side and hear someone with "insight" explain the difference to me.

It is such an iconic card.... I've always "liked" his 53 Bowman more aesthetically. As a collector my tastes (like most people here) run towards older and, perhaps, less "perfect" cards that were lucky to have survived at least one World War....

I think if you sit on 4m in btc, eth or ltc even until the end of this year you'll be pleased with the results. Right now is a good time to get in if you've been sitting on the fence.

Still like bitcoin and ethereum? Since you said this bitcoin has dropped from 11K a coin (which itself was down from 17K a couple of months before) to 7K, losing a whopping 10 percent in a single day, today. I know people did real well who got in early, but getting in now seems risky as hell to me. Ethereum has been in free fall too. It's dropped from the mid 800s to the high 300s since your post, and is down 13 percent today alone.

And did GAI also call them "first graded"?

Go Evan!! Bitcoin is the safe bet according to a lot of people. I am not quite there yet. And a 3.5M estimate. I hope it goes for much more.

This occurred to me last night--I certainly wouldn't trade my 1907 Fielding Pose Cobb or 1907 Wolverine News Cobb, nor my 1939 V351 Ted Williams for it. Might be too tough to replace those. Wander what Orly would say about his magnificant Cobb collection vs this card? Of course, that's just me and my preference for really rare, period, rather than a condition rarity, where thousands of other lesser examples of the card exist. But good luck to Evan--hope it does really, really well! Sometimes it is time to cash in!

May collecting bring you happiness, in any shape or form,

Larry

Why is it, "vs." ?

A gorgeous card is simply for sale. It is not playing a baseball game or MMA match against any other card or cards.

Why is it not? A question of collecting priorities always factors into a decision to buy one card over another, to keep one card over another, and into determining the large picture goals of your collecting. Unless, that is, a collector simply buys cards at random, and I don't think there are many of those in our hobby. So certainly my last post posed an interesting philosophic question within the collecting context.

Regards,

Larry

Is it always "or?"
Is it never "and?"
