I can almost see a non paying bidder ..and re-listed later or at a higher end auction site ..Maybe not , But this is insane ..

Are you kidding me!!! some people have more money then brains. If you want an investment buy into a freaking mutual fund for 120K and sit on it for 3-4 years. Why in the hell would anyone spend 120K on a freaking card. My god man thats also a hell of a downpayment on a house. I mean I totally get a collector adding high end to the collection but 120K for a card is just dumb.

It's dumb though to make such a broad generalization. Not everyone has the same income. If the buyer happens to make $5,000,000 a year (I'm sure he doesn't - but hypothetically) then spending $125,000 on a card is the equivalent of someone making $60,000 a year buying a $1,500 card - which happens all the time.

Obviously I'm not going to assume the buyer is some millionaire collector - but the simple fact is that total price sold doesn't matter - it's percentage of the buyers income that matters in really judging whether it is insane or not.

Maybe Strasburg is bidding? :)

Hey Mike if he was bidding on his own card that would actually be kind of cool, lol. That would be so neat if the Athlete himself won the card you were selling and you got to send it to him, thanks. Daniel

I know a lot of them do. I follow Quinton Groves and he always has a bunch of his cards

On another note...this is an INSANE for a card. I would rather have a house

[lil5up3rman]

Yes I would much rather have a house as well. I know if I had the card and it really sold for that I would buy a house outright lol. Daniel

[txcarr85]

i was actually telling my friends this exact thing.if this card was mine and sold for that much i would just pay my house off that i got 3 months ago

If I was a player and had the money I'd pay anything to buy my 1/1 rookie card.
Because... I'm one of a kind.
Yeah... I said it. LOL
