Huggins & Scott have the Holy Grail

Another contrived collectible. I wonder how all those 1 of 1 rare Michael Jordan cards are doing.

They're actually doing very well.

Cards like the Andrews, Ruth, Lajoie, and Lindstrom had no monetary value at the time of issue, even though they were nearly impossible to find. A complete set of U.S. Caramels got you a prize of something like a baseball, so if someone had the chance to buy a Lindstrom back then it might have been worth a quarter or so to him.

But the Strasburg is worth a ton right out of the gate (and unlike the aforementioned classics will only lose value in the coming years). I don't think you can compare this modern 1 of 1 to the older cards.
