Pretty crazy money for that card, especially comparing the PSA population of grade 10 (22) with those of the Ryan and Jackson in same grade (1 each).

No comparison between the three cards.

Jeter is undoubtedly the most popular Yankee player since Mantle.

He's up there in the Yankee Pantheon with Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle.

He played his entire career with the Yankees.

He performed both regular-, and post-season heroics.

He's the Yankees' all-time leader in hits, plus probably a few other categories.

He's pictured on his RC as a Yankee, and it is his alone; he doesn't share it with anyone else.

The Jeter is the most important card issued in the past 50 years, according to Brent Huigens, PWCC’s CEO.

Hmmmm... Jordan rookie?

That line stood out to me as well. Even though Brent didn't not state this in his reply, I guess maybe he was just talking about baseball. Otherwise, the comment is just silly. The '86 Fleer Jordan card is iconic.

Obviously it's cheap but I would argue the 89 Griffey is more important than the SP Jeter.
