Babe is going to set a new record.

The seller will make his money back for the card purchase 15 minutes after the auction starts. In an hour he will be in the green.

While I agree, I believe he could have made more money selling it 1-2 years ago.

I predict the recent private buyer (now selling to highest bidder) grosses at least $1MM on the 2 year investment. So that’s how you become a millionaire!

I guess I have been out of the loop for a bit. I didn't realize he came out of retirement. Is it the career HR's or RBI's, or both, that he will become the all-time leader again?


Brian (in my opinion no card should even be in the 5 digit range...but I do suffer from a severe case of fuddy-duddyism, which I just proved by using the term fuddy-duddy)

100% agree with that prediction. The buyers for a card of that magnitude are not the ones who chased Jordan rookies to $700K and will pay whatever it takes to get the card.
