I am very happy for the Astros, but these prices are crazy...who is paying this?

    As a Cubs fan, I can't help but wonder what Back to the Future Part II, VHS Tapes would go for if they hadn't missed by a year...

    Just like when an athlete passes away and there is a sudden surge in prices and demand for that players autograph. People need to smarten up and calm down. Most times it will come back to where it was or close to shortly after. Buy the print for $19.99 from Sports illustrated, it probably displays nicer than a magazine that most likely has a bar code or worse, an ugly mailing label on the front.

    That’s nuts. Everyone that still has a copy of that issue will be putting it on eBay after reading about this and there will be like 200 in there next week that they will be lucky to get $20 for...Kudos to those that jumped on this immediately and sold them for this kind of money before the influx of listings hit.

    Sports illustrated got this right and they are really playing it up. But they make tons of theee kinds of predictions that never go anywhere. Anyone want to buy my copy of their 1987 baseball preview where they predicted the Indians to win it all and they lost 100 games? I’ll accept $100
