What would you all say is or would be the most expensive card without an auto or game used?

I assume whatever it is, would be the 97 flair masterpiece, but of whom? Jeter? Junior? cal? Nomo?

Or is there something else?

Excluding vintage like '52 Topps Mantle....
I'd say either the 1993 Jeter SP PSA 10 or the 1996 Jeter Select Mirror Gold PSA 10

Have to check the thread where people show off stupid crazy hard to believe eBay sales.

If not baseball exclusive, some of those '90s inserts in basketball are CRAZY sales.

Also, what about the Puig super that sold this year in Dallas?

Not sure what the Puig Super sold for, but didn't Strasburg's Super sell for over 20,000?

EDIT: Quick internet search and yes the 2010 Bowman Chrome Superfractor of Strasburg sold for $21,403

Aside from the Strasburg Super, which went for $21K as a publicity stunt, and the same card a couple weeks earlier for exactly $5K less as the most daring bit of prospecting yet seen, I don't recall any baseball card made in the last 15 years has sold for 5 figures. Slightly older, there was that guy who paid $20K for a 1997 Griffey Flair 1/1, but failed to get the third copy, as I recall.

Basketball and hockey from this era break $10K frequently.

Here's a link to a story about it with a pic of one. I think the Beckett of the time had a pic of at least one of them. Details are fuzzy in my mind. The guy paid a lot for the first 1/1, then a lot more for the second. IIRC, a teenage kid in Alaska pulled the Row 0, and turned down an offer of $20K. I seem to recall him selling a year or so later for a lot less. That would be an interesting story to follow-up, both the kid and the buyer. Where are those cards now?

Oh, wait, here's a post that I actually made 15 years ago showing where the guy with the pair of them tried to sell them again in October, 1999. They ended at the time at $6712.43, RNM. Thanks, Interwebs!
