I looked at the completed listings for his orange refractor, I saw a couple go for around 3k, then about a week later they started ending around 4,800. If I was the 3k buyer I'd be selling already.
(although I don't have the guts to spend 3k on a 2010 baseball card)

A Hobby No Stats in Grade 4-5. Or about 25% the rest of my T205 set that I need in grade 4's and higher with a few rare backs included.

It's just as silly to me that anyone would spend $18,000 on T206s. And it's silly to some other collectors what I spend my money on.
Everyone's always saying how "real" collectors buy what they like. Well what if that's what this guy likes? It's not what I like or what almost anyone who reads this board would like. But if the high bidder likes it, good for him. I voice my opinion on how silly it is by not bidding on it. -Ryan

It makes no difference what you "like" and although you can spend your money as you wish, a purchase like this will always be percived as ridiculous by 99.999% of the population. No new card has EVER held it's value (see: Clemens, Gooden, Strawberry, Valenzuela, Prior, Wood, Canseco, McGwire etc.). Even HOF'ers like Boggs, Gwynn, Puckett and the like can be had for practically nothing these days. It's all HYPE. The guy who bought the Strasburg might as well sew it into his suit because he'll be buried with it. Worthless crap IMO.

true....

 To reiterate....I agree with you Ryan....It's this guy's money and he can do what he wants with it. Not a lot different than what we do, except there is more of a liklihood our pre-war items will hold more value than the card he bought. (imo)

Hell with half that money I could buy damn near every card I've ever wanted and have money left to spare.
Good for the sellers, making out like crazy. I was in an antique store yesterday that had busted a bunch of boxes of 2010 Bowman. They had a handful of base Chrome Strasburgs with a huge sticker on them, 'NO DISCOUNT, $65.' I'm in the DC area so the hype around here is insane but c'mon!

One could now buy a low grade T206 Wagner at the current price of $250,000.

Correction......make that $252,100. And the current high bidder has bid at least 30 times on the card today.

Barry, I admit this makes little sense to me. Leon did a great job of explaining this earlier in the thread, but this price,to me, is beyond reality.
And just for the record,I don't care how anyone spends their money. If someone wants to spend $350,000.00 on this card, go for it. To me, I couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of $$ on any card of a player with hardly any history in the game. And look how many "1 of 1's" keep popping up. One of one Blue, one of one red, one of one black, one of one sig orange blah blah blah............... Clayton

I think this has gone beyond bidding on a baseball card. I can't believe that anyone, even the high bidders, believe this is worth a quarter of a million dollars, and I still think it has a long way to go. Maybe a million dollars at this rate.
So I think bidders are buying something else. Maybe being able to say you bought the most "valuable" modern baseball card is worth something to somebody, I'm really not sure. But these bidders are perceiving this card in some unique way.

Obviously the current/high bidder will not be paying for it at a quarter mill....i bet the seller is sooooo pissed since he knows there is no way he should expect payment.

It's already at 261K, and the high bidder has bid on it about fifty times. And there are four days left. Again, what is going on? Nothing makes any sense.
