At least he didn't have to go through the BS of getting a Bench auto IP. I've heard the guy is a royal ass when it comes to dealing with the public/his fans.

Question: What is crazier than prospectors?

Answer: Topps set collectors.

So, so true. It makes going for Grandersons in sets like Heritage nearly impossible. There is no justification for the prices being paid for a basic jersey swatch #ed to 75. The stupid Granderson/Kaline ones this year were selling for $200+. No way am I paying that for a plain white jersey card.

By the way, that Bench is an awesome looking card. That set is a great auto set.

If those are going for that, I'd love to see what this would go for.

No joke, I bet that gets easily $500 or more.

Looks like the Granderson/Kaline dual has leveled out around $100 now. Still crazy considering the card isn't really that great in itself.

The black refractors are always good sellers in the Heritage set too. The 08 Granderson black refractors are getting almost $50.

It would be awesome if that set was like APOH and they kept it going forever. Do some sort of buyback type set with autos on the guy's RC once he goes into the Hall or something.

It's one of the great sets. It would be nice to see it continue.

Wow, that's not surprising to me. The Bench autos in my set cost more than I thought they would go for. But, for that price, I got the Piazza/Bench dual. That's insane for a single auto!! Beautiful card though, and great auto.
