I didn't know a piece of fabric could be this expensive...

These cards are like the Franklin Mint of sports collectables. When I see someone pay $13,000+ for an Andrew Luck signed card 1/1 it makes me wonder. Do they think they are going to recoup their money on that 'investment'? You could buy a document signed by Abraham Lincoln for that amount of money. You could also assemble a nice Football, Baseball, Basketball or Hockey HOF autograph collection for that. You may not get everyone, but you could still have a very nice collection.

It boggles my mind as well, same thing with the guy who dropped $16,000 on an Andrew Luck Chrome Superfractor last year. He will NEVER see that $16,000 again as it will only go down from here. It's the silliest trend in modern card collecting. It doesn't matter how "rare" these new shiny cards are or how great that particular player plays, they will never retain their value over time like vintage cards.

I have Babe Ruth's drawers from 1925 when he was so drunk he crapped himself. (been there, done that). Do I sell the whole thing for $1 mil or do we just slice it up and let everyone enjoy?

The Hand Of Babe Ruth sold for over 200,000. The Crap Of Babe Ruth has to sell for at least double(deuce).

Why does anyone even bother to post about these type cards here? It's just a anger filled hate fest every time. We get it, you guys HATE mem cards. I'd like to see an I hate T206s thread. The poster would probably get death threats.:

I don't mind the cards at all... I am talking about the price for a 1x2 piece of fabric

Is this the same Panini card company that originates out of Italy?
