Contest Update
The Stephen Strasburg 1/1 auto never sold for a BIN, but the card is now listed as auction (auction link).
There are NINE days left on this card. If you want re-enter, I will take new contest submission (just one per person) until Tuesday night. After that, the contest is closed.
Here is how it works.
– Guess the winning bid.
– The closest person (you can go over) win.
Prize: Six Topps Million codes recently pulled out of a Topps Series 2 jumbo.
23,000!
$17,909
I'm going with $28,000, especially since he will pitch again before it ends.
$25,676
Alright since I totally rocked the first time and guessed correctly I'm going to give it a shot again. $ 26.543.34.
$27,500
$34,000
This is scary that people are bidding so high on this card.
Just because this is seemingly THE card right now (the 2010 BC Auto'ed Super WILL go for more) I will say $22,456.34.
35,000 dollars.
39,700 + a guest spot on Olbermann's show simultaneously explaining how one spends almost 40K on a baseball card AND dripping in irony that the economy is still in a tail-spin of a recession.
Some people have way too much money. Sometimes I wish I was "some people".
I'm pretty sure that this will go for $24,100, because that's exactly what me and all my buddies have after saving all our bottle money for for the last 20 years. We knew that something would come along to spend it on…
$25,995
$33,500
36,600.
I will say $32,453.00
$29,777 is my entry.
33,200
$38,255.00
26000
$37,250.
I will guess $35,999
31,427.09
$42,000
I'll guess $48,521. But I'll also wager that the winning bidder doesn't pony up. Side pot, anyone?
-Andy
I'll wager 46,501.00.
BTW, I like your blog.
$44,590
$41,237 and by the way that is an absolutely ridiculous price to pay for any card newer than 1950.
I've got 20 times the quality starts that this kid has, but my rookie card goes 3/$1, I don't get it!!
I will guess $54,180.
48,685.36
and not really worth the paper it's printed on!
$54,200
$46,500. Absolute madness!
$86,999…Why not?
Final guess – $59,000. This is ridiculous.
48500 dollars.
Wow — I thought my last guess was high. I'll guess $62,000. Ack!
$45,601.
That's crazy high.
Uh, yeah. Revised Guess: $50,100 on a last minute bidding war. Because what's an extra $100?
My last guess.
$56,108
Christ on a cracker though. I wish I had that much money to blow.
Upping my original bid by 10K.
$49,700.
The guest spot on Olbermann still stands but now the buyer's soul will appear on Glen Beck where it will be in like company.
$47.658
59,801 dollars!
67,912.05
ALright, with 5 days left and a whole bunch of crazies out there, I'm changing my answer to $65,000.
Sweet my redo, Since this is getting so crazy. I'm going to go with 53,567.00
Since it is at $100,100 ($100,100!!!!!) already with 5d 13h left, can you redo the redo? These rich speculators ruin everything.
I say, $118, 732.53.
Or thereabouts.
