Why is this one going for so much?

I was browsing on ebay and came across this card. I can't figure out why this card is going for so much. It does have a nice patch, but it is almost 6 times of what others go for.

Patch is the first thing you look at, how many of those are there going to be in the /499 series, not as many not sure of the odds, so it 4 color and 6 layers another bonus, its a Worldwide Auction they usually go higher than USA only Auctions.

This kid might have a bit of fan base and his only 19, 5 points and 4 rebounds ain't much but for a 19 year old if that goes up he could be a 10 point, 10 rebound player by 22 or 23 and thats still very young. I haven't seen him play as yet, the kid looks like his got potential to be good.

Lets hear from a Golden State fan or Randolph fan to tell us why.

Because people are impatient (myself included) and want to get the first good patch they see for their PC, even if it means they'd get the same thing for half the price in a month. But hey, Maybe Randolph is highly desired, who knows.
