The $6MM is not really a market cap, as I read it, it is the float, since the owner will retain a number of shares in the card, and "may release more shares at a later date". Will they disclose the total shares that exist in the card including those privately held? If not, how can the value of a single share be estimated by a buyer? I'm totally new to this concept, if you couldn't tell. Since they are the ones using the IPO analogy, I assume that these are reasonable questions to be asked.

Richard’s father Archibald Davis acquired the card as a young boy when he was selling newspapers. The card came inserted in the Baltimore News where Archibald kept one.
