Sure thats a lot of money but honestly it seems rather small in the entire hobby of card collecting. I mean, that is one of the rarest and most sought after cards of one of the best players ever and it only went for $37,000. I certainly couldnt afford it, but I know people that could easily afford it so I dont see the big surprise here. A guy I know makes 17 million a year. There are lots of people in the world that make that kind of money. If you break that down, they make $45,000 every day. So spending less than you make in one day is not that big of a deal. Im sure many of us on this very site have spent our daily pay on a single card.

I'm glad to say that I have never. My current daily pay (before taxes) is between $250-$300 I think. I've never spent more than $20 for a card. Phew.
