I was thinking about his earlier. If I was him I'd either wait until I lived up to the hype and had millions to blow on the super, or wait until the card plummeted and pick it up for a fraction of what it is now.rum151man said:

Stras may be able to handle triple-A ballplayers, but he's going to have a tough time versus Keith Olbermann.

Guess it'd make sense, but why would he care so much about his own card? I talked with the guy who sold that Michael Phelps code breaker auto from 2009 Ginter a while back, and he said he wanted to list it at $10,000 BIN 'just in case' Phelps's mom wanted it.
Uhh... why would Ms. Phelps pay ten grand for her son's autograph?? Same applies here, or so I'd think. Strasburg could just sign anything he wanted for his parents (or himself) if he were so inclined.
Of course, I could also be way off base and perhaps it's somewhat common for players to crazy bidding for their own cards? Who even knows any more. It's a non-autographed card on pace to sell WELL over $10,000... the world has gone mad.

If you had millions and a super of you existed would you want it? It's not just and auto (like the phelps case) it's something truly rare. Paying this kind of money though probably seems a little ridiculous to him/family.jswaykos said:Guess it'd make sense, but why would he care so much about his own card?

This may seem crazy and selfish but what if he just wanted to drive the price way high just so it makes him look better or more sought after. even though in reality its just adding more pressure. just like the idiots in the nfl who hold out for large contracts and have never taken a snap aka jamarcus russell

Tough to say what I'd do! If I personally knew everyone that appeared on the baseball cards, I'd probably be less enthused with the hobby. Or not, I don't know.
$10,000+ for a modern era card seems crazy to me. I can't wrap my head around it, no matter how much hypothetical money I'd have! Think how easily destructable this thing is... what else can you buy for TEN GRAND that you could ruin SO easily? Granted, you'd probably store this in a little more than just a penny sleeve and top loader.

I wonder if the winning bidder will just get on a plane and pick it up in person??? I would think if someone is gunna spend 10 g's+ on a piece of cardboard a plane ticket should be the least of their worries. I personally would want to pick it up in person and not deal with the hassell. so many things could go wrong with the shipment. especially if somehow people know where its coming from.

But by flying to get (or deliver) the card, there'd be no delivery confirmation... then a claim could be filed! What a mess... sure glad I'm not the who pulled the card and has to deal with this... :?
