i lol at all the people paying thousands of dollars (admitedly, i was one of them years ago, but i have since realised my stupidity) for a 1/1 auto/ jersey/ refracting piece if cardboard/ plastic that most probably was printed a few weeks ago. dont get me wrong, a hobby is a hobby, and people pursue them becasue they have an interest in them. but those that actually think that they have any real value really need to pull their head out.

try selling those same cards the next season when the next hot shot brand comes out. collectors have short memories

pffffft its only 1 in 17 and no auto, i prefer a 1 of 1 patch/logoman auto anyday :v:

actually, i think it has the wax seal of king edward 1, which is equivalent of his signature

that is very true and it is framed . Sounds like the buyer got a bargain.

Our cards could be that valuable in 600-odd years as well!!!
I agree with Ace though...I think it's an absolute bargain. The Australian Govt. also owns a copy I believe.

Yep read the story a week or so ago, us TAXPAYERS own it.

 

[The Truth]

I just shake my head at the people paying thousands and thousands for one card. That's a great item there though, a bargain for what it is and how money is thrown around on stuff like this today. If I had that sort of cash to throw away, I'd jump at it.

I know you've just used it as a "throw-away" line (HA HA!!)....but I wouldn't consider it throwing money away....rather a very smart investment!!
