The "HOLY CRAP!" end-price thread

[Tom Oates]

I know I've said this before, but that's the dumbest waste of money I've ever seen.

Agreed, but I cannot say much since I bid $37.76 which to me was a waste of money but I'm a bit OCD and feel like my set is not complete without it.

2004 Topps All Star Game Patch Rafael Furcal | eBay

The item description didn't mention that these patches are limited to 15 copies (non-serial numbered). I didn't think it would go as high as it did.

Wow! That's an awesome card but $3800 is insane.

Is this price legit? Seems about 10x what something like that should sell for...

 

[jbhofmann]

Couple guys with deep pockets going after the set with 25 copies and an overall product that sort of tanked means not a lot of those will ever come up for sale.

 

[Brewer Andy]

Those couple of guys who sold early on BINS gotta be kicking themselves. But yeah, deep pocket set builders seeing the supply dwindle going ape

I see your Furcal and raise you this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mark-Mulder...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Looks like it was won by the same person as the Furcal. Someone's trying to put together the set.

That's nuts. That may be the highest price paid for a Mark Mulder card in the last few years. Or ever.

It makes me wonder what I could get for the Carl Everett and Jose Vidro cards I have from that set.

 

[IUjapander]

Not baseball, but this one got a holy crap out out of me.

$449.44. Same seller listed a bunch of awesome Family Guy ones (GPK, Captain America, Charlie Brown/Snoopy parodies), never thought this one would get the most.

I'd say list 'em with a BIN/BO and see what happens.

What set is this from, and why are they so expensive?

Is Bob Hamelin some sort of cult figure? Because I sort of think he should be. Now I want to collect him. Check out completed auctions for his 1996 Pinnacle.

Someone explain this:

[gradedeflator]

^Not sure on the pricing, but the Hamelin card got a boost in mainstream popularity earlier this year when Slate magazined cited it as the "worst baseball card ever"

http://www.slate.com/articles/sport...er_the_case_of_1996_pinnacle_foil_no_289.html

good read, but probably really won't explain $22

 

[smapdi]

OK, that's amusing. Slate could also get the Worst Website of All Time for having broken HTML at the start of the article.
