This is apparently the highlight card that was graded by BGS at the Nationals:

 

[JoshHamilton]

I know a 9.5 sold for $12.5k, which is insane

Unless you got money to throw around...

That is obscene. Someone is going to spend a lot of money on that and someone is going to make a lot of money on that.

And they will give them money. Which is just as good as cash.

I will never understand how someone can spend 12500 on a card of anyone. Is it a great card, sure, but once the hype dies down, 99.99 % of cards lose some of there value if not more... To each their own, but a little patience would help the wallet IMO. IE. STRASBURG!!!!!!!!

Maybe when we have that kind of money to throw out we will understand, hahaha. If that was pocket change to me, I would definitely buy it.

A sad sad but true statement. Lol. Touché

That card is sick, can't imagine spending that kind of $ on a card. Makes me freak to spend like a few hundred on a Belle card lol.

What is that case shown? 75 Topps? For $50k?

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Just say that brings 10-15k, what type of stats would he need to possibly put up over the first 10 years of his career to be anywhere near that in 2025? I'd say .350/55/170 , anyway it's a nice card for someone who hasn't done a thing. Yes , this was a Debbie downer post

Be Trout or Pujols in his first years probably. Anything less will be a loss.

Right , but even Pujols who had basically the best 10 year start to anyones career couldn't hold a $20k price. Consistently great won't even hold as people move on expecting it. Anyway , I am always amazed at potential vs produced

I wonder who hit that, when, and where. Topps knew where that was going. Don't ya think?

 

[corockies]

Best part about this is when Topps starts packing out the 2013 Bryant colors and there's a red graded 10/10. It will slaughter the value on this. I wouldn't touch this card with the possibility lurking of his 2013 autos. being leaked out in 2014 products.

Oh wow. I'd so much rather have that case. Imagine the damage you could do to a PSA registry with that sucker.

How many PSA 10 George Brett and Robin Yount minis are in there? Would probably be a smart investment if the case wasn't searched...

Unopened doesn't mean as much to PSA 10's when centering is the big problem with the product.

Also, god, you'd have to be insane to spend $12.5K on that Bryant! When was the last time a Cubs prospect panned out?
