*jaw dropped* :shock: 1.5 mill for a piece of cardboard.......im starting to think that we are all nutcases in this hobby ....has one sold for that much chad?

Yeah they have sold for that. Its not a BV price. There are less then 20 in existance and he was one of the games greats. His auto was on the cut auto card.

I remember a few years ago Wayne Gretzky went halves in one with a mate. You know its pricey then LOL

Here is a pic of the elusive card for those that have never seen this masterpiece.

To put it in prospective a Babe Ruth RC psa 8 sold for the same price as a Wagner RC psa 1 :shock: :shock: :shock:
