The "HOLY CRAP!" end-price thread

[SINFULONE]

Yes. One side of the card contains a jumbo jersey swatch and the other side contains a patch. There is a separate COA with a matching UD authentication sticker with serial numbers.

Nice cards.Wish UD could get back in the game.

WTF?His family bidding on it?

WTF?His family bidding on it?

Not sure but he's a real fan favorite and he doesn't have a ton of nice cards out there (hello Topps?)
He's the quiet working man most Wisconsinites can appreciate (without all the showmanship that contrary to general perception isn't that popular among Brewer fans) and one of the best catchers in the league.
Plus a few swing-for-the-fences bidders, but even this is crazy

HOF plates don't go that high.

Ruth, Gehrig, etc don't sell like that.

Was very surprised at what this ended at. Trying to put together the set...but not at that price!

The one that sold previous to this went for $1.25 at auction.

That was probably the first of the 25 made available online. I would expect the next red ice to sell for about half that price. Crazy.

Holy ****.I put in a decent bid on this, and was smoked.Did not see it going that high.

The only thing that I can think of is that this is his only certified auto in an O's uni...
Other than that, it doesn't make any sense.
I have purchased many on card 1/1 auto's for less then half of this.

I was watching this with no intention of bidding. Just watching because I own a copy and wanted to see what it would bring at auction.

Crazy, especially since I wasn't able to get more than $12 for an ARod from the same set.

Yet a cheater like McGwire from the same set would still sell like Griffey.I don't get it.

I agree, I think things have developed beyond grouping all cheaters together and now a big part is about how they dealt with it and how like able a person they are (to fans and the media at least). It also matters where their standing in history would have been. Guys like Arod who was caught again after his big apology may never get the fans back. Braun did something awful in throwing the collector under the bus but if he plays well and behaves himself people might forget. Same with Ortiz since he's played well and been known for other things. Guys like Pettitte people never really seemed to care possibly partially because he's so well liked and because he was never going to be a HOFer so his status was not as high to begin with...
