If I had it, I'd pay $2.3M if it'd bring me that much of a return in seven years.

it was a card that came in a pack of cigarettes...they only released like i think they said 60 cards in 1909 before he told the tabacco company to stop using his photo...they said if you had a copy of one and laid it in the road and let people run over it all day then crumble it into a ball the card would still be a 100k card that was wayne gretskys card he bought in 91 for 451k then sold it in 2000 for 1.2 mill then just sold for the price you listed.... i would say its easy to double your money on it lol

I remember seeing one of those cards at the Hall of Fame back in the late 80's-early 90's. I remember when they were worth $35,000.

Ive got a ton of baseball cards from 10 years ago and back a while after that but probably not worth much at all.
I should just sell them all.
