For the wrestling collectors here, look what popped up on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...1047&ssPageName=STRK

Nice back story with it.

WHOOOOOOooooooooooo!

I can't believe it sold for that much...

Is there something special about this card???

I know who Ric Flair is but I never thought an auto card of his would go for that amount.

Until that auction, that card was a "myth" and didnt really exist, and will most likely be the only one ever to see the light of day.

Think it would have sold for more if he spelled "Ric" correctly?

Are you joking here or being serious?

The Auction Spells his name "RIck". With dinged up corners and a crease in the back its crazy to pay that much.

In your opinion. I know people who think it's crazy to spend $3.00 on a pack of cardboard. so it's all economy's of scale. I am not a wrestling fan but what I can appreciate is the REAL rarity behind a card like this rather than the false manipulated rarity of most modern trading cards. This is a 1 of 1, or very close. No one out there has a better condition copy of the card so a few dinged corners become a lot less relevant. Would I personally spend that much money on this card? Heck no, but then I bet I wouldn't buy the same things you would, thats what makes things so much fun.

I don't think it's any more crazy than some of the prices top cards go for (Ford, Fisher, NAR ect).

Thanks... Now it makes sense.

Is there any other cards from this set that are "myths"???

What is the story behind the whole set???

I have seen some of the auto cards from this set selling for hundreds of dollars and up...

It's spelled Ric. Not Rick.

It's a great price, no matter how few of it were produced if only because wrestlers generally sign TONS of autographs.

It's a very fan friendly sport and Ric Flair's been around a looong time, so he much have quite a few autographs out there.

I haven't followed or watched wrestling in a long time, but I absolutely adored the Topps Heritage sets and bought all 3 (in regular and chrome). Nice to see Topps will be making a WWE yearly set. The 2009 set just came out this week and I think I'll pick up a box or two or that.

I am only quoting this because it looks cool, I think this is the longest quote chain on the board... until someone quotes me on that...

You mean the longest topic deviation?

It does make a cool hourglass shape.
