Baseball Cards

I read a funny story today about this guy Alex Gordon who was going to sign to the Kansas City Royals so they (Topps) made his Rookie Card, but then he didn't sign and instead is only playing double A down in Wichita (I have no idea why, but I chalk it up to fitting in with the way things go for the Royals).

So Topps pulls his cards from their 2006 collection but some kid stumbles accross 5 of them at Wal-Mart after buying some packs of cards for his own collection and (very inteligenly) decides to sell them via eBay for a grand total of $5,761.79!

There's supposedly less than 100 out there that didn't make it in the recall and so now everyone's going crazy over this guy's rookie card when he's not even in the major leagues. Supposedly he might be a really good ball player down the road and then his 'non-existent' pre-rookie card rookie card will be worth even more than the $2,550 that someone's paid for one so far.
