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.

I'm guessing 99.84 percent of the population sees what we do as ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I think new cards are a poor investment unless you have impeccable timing, but the value of Strasburg cards could, in theory at least, be positively impacted by his on-field performance. Ty Cobb, what have you done for me lately?

Hopefully the first guy will pay his taxes on the gain. Capital gain tax rate for a collectible is 28 pct max, depending on his other income.

What if he re-invests the difference in Ricky Jordan Rookies and declares it a business expense?
