here we go again...

If it does, it will certainly reinforce my belief in P.T. Barnum's judgment.

I know it's worth more than fifty dollars but does anyone really believe this piece of...nothing...is worth 100K?

[Abravefan11]

There are three Strasburg 1 of 1's. The red sold for $4k and the refractor sold for $16k. I think given the hype around these cards and Strasburg coupled with the autograph that this card will go for more than the other two. I will be surprised if it goes for $100k, I would guess more in the $30k-$50k range but who knows.

[FUBAR]

the re-sale of the superfractor is now at 24k with a day and a half left

I would never pay 1k for the auto card but my prediction is 100k based on the amount of idiots out there with too much money!

Jim,

LOL!

Do you define someone as an "idiot... with too much money," the very first time they outbid you on something, or does it take multiple auctions?

I define an idiot as "someone who would spend 100k on a card that is a month old and of a player who has played 4 games." I remember awhile back there was another sure fire pitcher who came out of the blocks with his guns ablaze... his name, Kerry Woods.... he had amazing stuff at the start! It only takes one injury to make that card worth 20$.


It isn't hard to outbid me right now.. unemployed now for 7 months leaves my card budget at about 10$.... had some good interviews so hopefully the sun will shine on this IDIOTS ass soon....then i can buy a real card here and there and get back to the BST again.... at least with my birthday money i was able to get 4 deals done on the BST....

they usually get called the "c" word! and i put the L on my own forehead!

[hunterdutchess]

The refractor winner who is reselling looks like he made a nice flip. It's at $23,599-6.10-($23,599*6%)=$22,190-$16,400=$5,790 profit. Thats more than I have spent on my entire collection!

[WillBBC]

The guy will most likely sell it through somebody so that the bidders can register before throwing up a 50K price as a joke. I hope that didn't cost him too much in fees.

[Buythatcard]

So, what happened? Listing ended with 0 bids.

[FUBAR]

If anyone cares, the original Strasburg that was being re-sold, officially sold for 25k , so the guy made $8800 less ebay fees for his 3 weeks of owning the card....

and we were making fun of him!

Well now we can make fun of the guy who paid 25K for it.

[FUBAR]

until the auto version gets re-listed, then we can make fun of him instead

And the greatest pitcher of all time is now 2-2. Granted, a strong 2-2.

Like I said, there are good short term investments and good long term investments, even in baseball cards. The shiny stuff can still bring you huge cash, but you have to know when to sell.
