+1....if anything it's the modern market that drives our hobby. Most modern collectors have also shied away from relics and just want on card certified autographs.

Sorry, but no. This is a scam to get card collectors to pay over a thousand dollars for a pack of cards that really has little value. Collectors have stopped buying this. It is now breakers selling lottery tickets to gamblers, a chance to win a specific player or team if it comes out of the pack. Gone are the days of collectors buying a box of cards to get an autograph card or relic card, that is a rarity today. The "modern" market is no more than legalized gambling, no different than playing slots at Vegas. Panini only made 10 of this card to hope someone buys in to their scheme.

I'd love to bring this card to a jeweler and ask him what he'd give you for the stone. I'm sure he would laugh uproariously.

My philosophy is one should collect what one wants to collect.

Though my other philosophy is about how seriously you take things.

yep!

But as has been said...people enter the hobby are are confronted with this SHIT...but it gets them in...and after they get burned by these worthless contrived cards they seek a more stable and predictable investment vehicle...such as a t206 cobby...or a goudey ruth...and the wheels go round and round!
