Of course I suspect that he bid far more than 5% of the cash that he's got on-hand. If he's anything like most young people who suddenly come into money, a considerable part of that $11.5m was probably spent on fast cars and the like.

Now that I think of it, somebody should take him up on that twitter thing, get an auto, and ask him what his monster number is.

So you know how all his investments have panned out?

Besides, the guy can spend however much of his money however the hell he wants. He earned it.

Pat Neshek is an incredibly nice guy and one of the very rare good guys who made it and didn't forget where their roots or interests are. He's not some "investor", he's a collector. A lot of one than most of the clowns that bid on those high dollar items.

When he was with the Twins he used to regularly shop the floor at Twinsfest and was involved in regular guy collector conversations with regular guys. A total class act.

To talk down about him shows how jealous you are of his success and his ability to take a run at the Wagner. The guy has probably wanted one since he was about 10 years old. Get a clue.

I think there's some misunderstanding going on here. I was just impressed that someone would bid that much of their total life earnings on a card, I certainly wasn't trying to denigrate him. Indeed, I suggested that we ask him what his monster number is. Frank's thread needs another entry.
