Paul Skenes Superfractor Ends in Goldin

[LEHR]

I can think of a lot of cool things I could buy with $80k, and Paul Skenes isn't even on the radar for 1/20th of that.

Nothing to add to this thread other than, "congratulations Ryan"! Pure gold....

Thanks all. No doubt it’s a super expensive card. But the Skenes is also super expensive at $80k, and I don’t understand the rationale of how a player who has literally accomplished nothing and has a micro-chance of being good enough to be mentioned with Cy Young, can sell for this price in comparison.

Who would not want a card of his girlfriend! She is a 1/1

Rationale? The lure of the unknown is no doubt very powerful. Visions of sugar plum fairies and all that. The book on the aforementioned players has already been written.

BTW, I attended the first MLB games of both McDonald and Stasburg. Well, we know what happened. The moral of the story - as a previous poster opined, sell’em while they’re hot!
