LEGEND whats your point?

[trsent]

I see the point.

One guy knows the card is worthless, while the other is trying to attract attention to his auction(s) by offering a worthless item at an opening bid of what it is worth to have Drazen Petrovic come sign autographs at your son's Bar Mitzvah.

[LEGEND33]

I am not expert in the CARDS hobby so i don't know which is the current value of the card.... i am only a great fan of Petrovic (living in Europe i've seen him play several time)

offering a worthless item at an opening bid of what it is worth to have Drazen Petrovic come sign autographs at your son's Bar Mitzvah.

I think you would have to pay more than $5,000 to have Drazen come to your son's Bar Mitzvah. A lot more...he doesn't sign anymore!

[suave1477]

ummmm TRSENT i kind of take offense to that staement you made Drazen Petroviv died in a bad car accident, I don't think he will be doing autographs.

[suave1477]

both teams play hard - yeah he doesnt sign anymore cuz he is no longer alive!!!!

[trsent]

Really? I had no idea he had passed, I just looked it up on Yahoo! and I'm reading about it now.

[LEGEND33]

In Croatia he is considered like a National hero.

Legend so what was your point to pointig out the to ads? was it the extreme differences? or was it the fact that no way in hell is that guy going to get $5,000.00 for that card?

[LEGEND33]

Who is so crazy to spend 5,000 usd for the card ???

just a note: Petrovic most points record in a single game is: 112

On www.beckett.com (http://www.beckett.com) you can buy 189 1990-1992 Hoops Drazen Petroviv Rookie #248 for between four cents and .99 cents each.

No one is going to pay $5000.00 for the card, is it worth less than a dollar so there is no debate except that some idiot wants some attention.

I emailed the person and asked about the $5,000 they listed for the card, they replied back " I need the money" with a laughing signs next to it. Which leads me to believe that it is a kid messing around!!!

I was about to say i he gets $5,000 for that card I would shoot myself. When that particular set came out I was big into collection basketball cards and I bought cases of the hoops cards. I must have about 100 of those Drazen Petrovic rookie cards.

If he gets $5,000 for one card then I am a rich man!!!:D

I remember in 1990 when ProSet Football had a card of Payne Stewart included in the set. We had one of the cards in our showcase with a $100.00 price tag on it. It hasn't sold in a month, and the market had dropped to around $5.00 each.

Of course, that day a guy from the office above our store comes in with 100 of the cards thinking he has a gold mine because of our out-dated priced card.

He did have two of the cards autographed by Payne in green marker (to match the color of the card's Green Bay Packer theme) and I did buy one which is still in my personal collection.
