People see short-printed in the stories and assume the card is going to be extremely rare and since it is fresh in their mind they go to ebay, see the prices and say I have to get mine before they all sell out, not thinking there will be thousands of these cards around and there won't be hundreds of people willing to pay big bucks for a picture of a squirrel years or even months from now.
It is like what happens when a famous player dies, the prices of his autographs will go crazy that day and for the next week, people say that he obviously won't be signing anymore so I have to get mine now before they're all gone but the day before he died they had no intentions of getting his autograph. If they waited about two months instead, the price would be back down to pre-death levels and the autograph is still just as rare, possibly even more rare since a few could've been lost to attrition(lost in mail,fire,flood,etc) This card will be a $5 card in no time, the gotta have it crowd will get theirs at any price and then the collectors will wait and eventually get one for a reasonable price

Just like the 2007 topps jeter/bush/mantle variation, this card will be at $10 in a few months

Well, at least the BINs have come down to the $200-250 range. Still ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as the jackass that just had to have it for $611.99. Haha. Not even two days and the price is already 33% less than what this clown paid... He's gotta be scratching his head right now..

You guys laugh, but anyone who will pay this much for a squirrel card must be able to afford to because he was such a brilliant genius that he acquired enough wealth to be able to blow it this way. Seriously, think about it. (then forget it).

Not as cool as the Billy Ripken variation.
Curses > squirrells.

I think I would much rather spend $600 on this squirrel card:
