I am going to give you an analogy that is more appropriate here. My wife is into purses. She has seven or eight Chanel's, a bunch of Gucci's, some Yves Saint Laurent and a few others. Quite a pricey collection of purses. A purse has one function and that is to carry things but the prices of these purses are predicated on scarcity and bragging rights. You would think these would be a enough but she wants a Hermes Birkin bag. These are the most scarce of designer bags and you can't just go into a store and buy one. They have to ask you if you want one and it is hard to have that happen. Which one of these sells for the most? The Birkin naturally because it has the ultimate bragging rights. This is just how the world works. We don't make the rules. Once cards are elevated to elite hobby status symbols they can take on a mind of their own in terms of price. It is really simple.

I'm glad your wife has enough purses to make a cash purchase of the Jeter card.

You're certainly entitled to your opinions.

That's Ironic. We were evacuated due to wildfires last week and my wife was packed in 3 minutes...All she took was her 10 Louis Vuitton purses.

Yes, I left the FAKE baseball cards behind.

Hi Chuck, I hope you are back at home and that there was no damage to your property. That situation has to scare the hell out of you.
