    That is O-Pee-Chee instead of Topps.....different company.

    Even a Topps Vida Blue in a '10' should be around a $300 card.

    Vida Blue was a star: Cy Young, MVP, 6 time all star, 200 wins. He was about as good as any pitcher in the early to mid-70s. His A's cards sell fairly well compared to other non-HOF stars of that era, mainly because there are a decent amount of 70s A's collectors.

    That makes sense CD.

    I'm a 70's A's collector, but I never thought that card would sell for that much.

    He's also the last AL switch-hitter to win the MVP.

    It's a strong price no doubt, but somebody wanted it badly apparently. If he sent it to auction it probably doesn't fetch that much.

    wasn't he better known for his pitching?
