You might want to ask this guy, as this baseball card appreciates in value over time, how does the text on the back manage to update this information? Does it have a tiny computer chip in it that allows it to keep up with price changes?

Yeah Barry,

Back when those cards came out, I believe in the 1990's, a local card shop had them on display with a price tag reflecting the statement on the reverse--they were truly clueless.

Reminds of the time I changed location and employers back in 2007 and some of my patients got upset because we didn't change the OLD phone books listings to reflect the new numbers. One nice old lady actually told me that

Great. McDonald outing another auction. That's just swell.

This may be the same guy who showed up at the Antiques Roadshow with a copy of the Mona Lisa.
