The guy will most likely sell it through somebody so that the bidders can register before throwing up a 50K price as a joke. I hope that didn't cost him too much in fees.

So, what happened? Listing ended with 0 bids.

If anyone cares, the original Strasburg that was being re-sold, officially sold for 25k , so the guy made $8800 less ebay fees for his 3 weeks of owning the card....

and we were making fun of him!

And the greatest pitcher of all time is now 2-2. Granted, a strong 2-2.

To me this is actually legal gambling at it's best. If he loses his next game how much, if any, will his cards go down? If he loses 2 in a row, then how much, if any? AND if he keeps winning...then what? Hey, it's bringing some excitement to baseball card collecting and that is a good thing. Certainly it's not my cup o tea but it is interesting.

Jeez, after watching the game last night. Strasburg will be lucky to be a .500 pitcher as long as he's on the Nationals.

Like I said, there are good short term investments and good long term investments, even in baseball cards. The shiny stuff can still bring you huge cash, but you have to know when to sell.
