Arkansas man buys baseball card for $1.62 million

Do you get envious much?

Envious of a man who spends over a million dollars on a piece of paper? F U C K N O

I'd feel like I'd squandered the money unless the card also came with a hollowed out volcano super secret base in the Pacific.

This is going for a bit more... at 1.65M

It even comes with it's own chimney. Does the baseball card? :rofl:

What a waste of money, it's a photo of a guy.

There is more to it than the "Holy shit I own a famous card" feeling. That card is a piece of baseball lore.

I get the feeling exactly. As a comic book collector it would be the feeling I would have owning an Action Comics #1 or Detective Comics #27 and if I had the money to do so I would buy them without hesitation. I'm sure most people here spend money on things that to a lot of people is "wasted" money, but to each his own.

Maybe if he spent in on having Gianna Michaels as his sex slave for a day. :1orglaugh

It's his money and everything sure, but you do not see the idiocy of spening that much on a simple playing card? Chances are, he's not going to resell it. He spent over a million dollars on a card, which doesn't have much use save for the "Holy shit I own a famous card" feeling.

What is one man's trash is another man's treasure? Have you heard that? I bet you have not idiot.
