He certainly has a right to list his item for sale for any price he wishes.

It is rare!

A Jackie Robinson 1946 American Baseball Bureau Baseball questionnaire filled out by Jackie just brought $1.7 million in a Heritage auction.

Granted, it was directly tied to Jackie and written in his hand but the reason it brought the big money was because he said in answer to one of the questions, "Ambitions in Baseball" that he wanted to "open the door for negroes in organized ball." Obviously was he was referring to the major leagues and in less than one year he had fulfilled that mission.

I saw a pre-auction estimate of a million dollars and laughed thinking it was a crazy estimate. Well, I guess I was right only in the wrong direction.

You obviously had two bidders with unlimited funds who had to have this item. One finally tapped out at this price level.

I'm not comparing this item to that one as far as value, but $10K might well be a bargain although not to the current Net54 or Ebay community.

You might consider letting this run on ebay rather than here. Everyone here knows you have this card, and because of this thread and a few earlier ones, we know it sold for a little over $1k back to you. I can't see how it's a positive for you to keep showing it here, and it bumps other listings down the page here. This postcard is really cool and rare but it doesn't feel rare to me at this point. I feel like I've seen 70% of it 50 times in the last year. Just my 2 cents, great postcard.
