I don't get it

Interesting. I cannot figure out why this raw card sold for so much. It received 11 bids and a quick review of the bids reflect several different bidders. Beyond me, as you can Buy It Now a 1971 autographed rookie, PSA 10 (auto grade) for 80 or so. I wouldn't even want to own a card with such a bad back - if that's the reason.

Strange, any further thoughts?

I have discovered that finding logic in what people collect is pointless. We all probably scratch our heads on different things we wouldn't spend 1/10th the price for, then turn around and drop 10X the price on something only we and of course at least 1 other collector (thank you buddy for either bidding me up or beating me!) must have.

It certainly seems odd for sure though, as that card should be no more than a $10-15 card otherwise to most of us who might collect non-certified autographs, if that. It's not a rare signature or card, so the only answer besides sheer craziness is the misaligned back must have really turned at least 2 people on.

After my reply, I saw this. I am going to invoke my right to say this is insane, but clearly others do not agree with me!

It seems like a ridiculous price for a mascot card, but apparently it's an SSP. He's had two other cards and his 2020 card only has three graded at PSA. It's hard to believe that a mascot named Blooper has three baseball cards.
