Heritage Auction Catalog

I don't understand why anyone would pay $264k for a L. James card. There are 99 copies out there and James is still alive. I would rather get 2 or 3 t206 Plank or a Cobb back instead.

This astounds me. I remind myself that some people, corporations, etc. have more money than I can grasp. It's funny that I wouldn't pay, literally, a dime for anything associated with Lebron James--yet folks will be aggressive bidding on such an item. Collecting is definitely personal. I'm very happy for the winner although it is likely it's a company simply making an investment.

This is the same company that bids on its own auctions. I personally would take their results with a grain of salt.

Likely a company making an investment? While certainly not impossible I find that highly unlikely. And that seems a strange assumption unless you have a specific reason to believe there is a company out there buying up high end Lebron cards.

$144k for the signed cobby.
