    Anybody else following this? I guess this a super rare card considering there is only 1 made but this dude hasn't even thrown a pitch in the Major Leagues!

    There's a lot of hype over this guy. I'm going to feel bad for him when he breaks from all the pressure.




    Anybody remember Todd Van Poppel?

    I know this guy was a pitching phenomenon at SDSU. He is supposed to make his first major league start next month.


    Let's see how he does in the big leagues. :D

    I have heard of Honus Wagner, he had an amazing career and the baseball card that sold was very rare and could be compared to a rare/high valued painting.

    This kid has never even thrown a pitch or proved himself in the big leauges and somebody out there is willing to take a gamble by spending 16k+ on one of his cards.
