WOW!

[mrmopar]

No words for this one…look him up to see the story behind the reason for this price!

That's really sad.
Most likely one of those events as to why teams and the unions keep in contact or reach out to players so much now.

And here I thought we were talking about the legendary Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Rick Anderson who debuted in '86.

Who knew there were so many infamous Rick Anderson relief pitchers?

The two high bidders were established ebay users and the top bidder had another bid in at the end, indicating they were willing to go even higher!

That 81T Mariners team set is a bear to get signed. Not only is Anderson nearly impossible, so is McLaughlin. Then you have a bunch of harder to find guys like Biercevicz, Craig (d), Dressler, Zisk, Beniquez, Cox (d), Clay, Sarmiento, Burroughs, J. Anderson, Mendoza, Randle, D. Roberts (d) and maybe a couple more. This signed set is by far my least complete of the 77-87 run.

I don't see any humor in this at all..

Team Collectors have a sickness. I would pay a lot of money for a Jay Dahl autograph, who played one game and has a career ERA over 10.

I can get Mendoza. Let me know

For autographers, that's the additional "fun" of the hobby as I bet many autos like this are put away and forgotten and then turn out to be gems.

 

[Dilferules]

If it was his only autograph in the hobby, how exactly did PSA/DNA certify it?

 

[Therion]

Well, it's PSA so...

But the statement that it is possibly the only one is a fallacy. He signed contracts, checks, yearbooks, etc that it can be compared to.

~IP/TTM autographs are junk.

Something about the way this thread is going is pissing me off.

It's a crazy price, the seller indulged more than a bit and people obviously don't care about the guy (they dont know him i get it, read the summary) and are in total disregard for an entire niche of the hobby. Seeing a bunch of narrow minded piss ants at the moment, reminds me of BO boards to be honest.

Team, set and player collectors are known to spend ridiculous amounts to fill needs. I think it's insane what was supposedly paid. Someone has expendable cash I don't have to collect what they like. It's like prospectors, I don't understand it but it's part of the hobby and here to stay.

Stepper, I don't think anyone has yet to say the buyer is stupid or something along those lines. We're shocked about the price reaching where it did, but I don't think anyone criticized the seller or buyer really?
