Come on now, the card is only for the serious collector. You can't see a serious collector spending that kind of money on Pujols?

The '54 Aaron was owned by hundreds of thousands of people at some point whereas maybe 1,000 people have ever owned a Pujols '01 BC RC. While I'm not saying the card is a bad or good investment, its just that the Pujols feels more like it was produced to be an investment rather than a collectible because of its limited print run.
I also don't think '01 BC as a **set** will ever approach the collectibility of '54 Topps, partially because of '01 BC's limited print run, and partially because there are failed prospects in '01 BC that never panned out that nobody is really interested in anymore. As we know popular sets can really drive the prices of individual cards in that set, IMO '54 Topps will always be more popular.
Its just hard to get all nostaligic and pay for a set or card you never owned or have never seen in person before even if you like the player, especially if the set was pretty much created to be an investment more than a collectible.
So even if Aaron and Pujols wound up with identical career stats, it would make sense to me that the Aaron would always be more sought after by collectors.

It's a cool card.
Oh, I know. I was replying with a picture of the Johnston Cookies card so other collectors who had not heard of it could see it.
