True. I'm just surprised anyone would pay that much. Even with unlimited funds, it seems like a waste.

I agree.
Please tell me how a blue /150 can not only maintain $4k, but actually go up? That's four THOUSAND dollars. For a baseball card.

It wasn't that long ago that we all thought Albert Pujols Rookie Autos would stay at his former prices as well. I am as much of a Trout fan as the next guy, but these prices are out of this world and will be damn tough to stay there.

I stated it earlier , prices dip by decent % for an injury , an off year , or even consistency. W/O seasons at higher key numbers than he has put up , the market will even get bored with the same good seasons

My point exactly. I also tend to agree with Ryan and JH. I guess the biggest question is why people who have plenty of readily handy examples of this still do this...pay this much. It doesn't make sense as a flipper(not now anyways), and it doesn't make sense as a collector. And honestly, even as a prestige thing, it's lacking. If you have unlimited funds, why not go after a Wagner? A 52 Mantle? Those cards are IMO, overpriced, but at least people know about them and they have that prestige factor. Plus I don't see them dropping. Oh well...different folks...different strokes.

It's been relisted due to non-payment. Damn. Probably some idiot kid from blowout.

That sucks. Non-payers on major auctions should be exposed somewhere to deter them from doing that sort of BS, and also to allow sellers to block them.
