$50,000, as Keith Jackson would say "Whooooaaaaaaa, Nellie"
Do ya ever think the winner will ever make a profit on the card??? Or maybe, just my speculation, the card is so high profile that high bidder is a pro athlete or a celebrity to whom $50,000 is a couple of day's interest from their portfolio......Don't know why I just thought of that but figured I would share my thought since it popped into my head.
I will be bidding, IF I win Mega Millions tonight!!! LOL
Collecting Interests: Ripken, Brooks & Frank Robinson, Old Orioles, Sweet Spot Autos, older Redskins - Riggins, Sonny, Baugh etc and anything that catches my eye.

Ok, normally I'm a big modern guy and I would defend this card. But 51 grand???? That is ridiculous. It's not even auto'd!!!! Plus, there are 2 more with Bron on them besides. Ugh. Utterly mind-boggling.
Private auction means bullsh$t!! this is not a real auction at all!! no way someone would pay lets say this ends at 75k!! this is bs!! these guys are probably driving this thing up so high hoping they get some poor dumba$$ to bid on it then it will come to a stop. and they will laugh all the way to the bank! I mean this is kobe and lebron not even an auto. there is a mj and lebron out there!! I calll bullshiaatt
The phrase " I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole" comes to mind first. Maybe if all those news services cover this one and it turns out to be a fraud,then e-bay will rethink private auctions.Will not happen but one can always hope.

Please be kind to me. Even though I'm now a former postal employee, I'm still capable of snapping at any time.
That is one ugly card. Guess that doesn't count for much, but it should. Totally insane.
Building sets: 1888 N18 Parasol Drill, 1888 N19 Pirates of the Spanish Main, 1911 T68 Heroes/Men of History (PSA 4+), 1952 Bowman Baseball (PSA 6+), Pre-war British soccer sets
This is a fabricated collectible. In the sense that it was pre-meditated to be a collectable and pre-meditated to be one of a kind already knowing the popularity of the players. I just cannot get all excited about it. To me it's just a couple swabs of cloth like the ones you get when you are deciding on furniture fabric. They cut up a good jersey. Normally if you damage a collectible it goes down in value. Now why aren't people whittling away at Federal chairs to sell toothpick size remnants of a collectible?
What a sucker who buys this card if the following comes true in the next year or two: Kobe found Guilty; LeBron rolls Hummer down an embankment and becomes parapellegic. Or I'll be nicer and just say maybe LeBron pulls a "Lakers".
Two thumbs down.
I'd take Griffey Jr's 500th HR ball. That's a true 1 of 1.
Fabricated collectible is a great way to put it. That aside, it might be a nice card to have for a hundred bucks or so...this type of price point makes no sense. I am sure that the buyer will never recoup anywhere near the purchase price for this card.....ever.
That's weird. This morning it was at 111 bids, now there are 107. Even though the bidders have to be pre-approved, he had to cancel some, or else the bidders themselves cancelled. Still at the same price, though.

I think if i was going to invest (or in this case blow) that much money on any card it would be a '52 Topps Mantle PSA 9. At least with that card you know the value of it isn't going to be $0.50 in a year is LJ hurts himself, or becomes a coke head
Someone has some money to waste. The things I could do with $60,000+ !!! I can't imagine that it is even a normal collector of basketball cards buying this piece because no collector can be that insane! Or can they??? Go out and buy a full game worn jersey from both Kobe and LeBron! If I only had that kind of money to blow.......it wouldn't be that piece of garbage!

I wonder how much the Lebron/Jordan is worth.
