Last night on Jeopardy during the "meet the contestants" part in talking with the champ (I think it was the champ might have been the gal in the middle I wasn't paying that much attention). The contestant said she used to collect Basketball cards because of the possiblity of pulling a "million dollar card". Maybe it was from a Topps Million Dollar Sweepstakes were it was possible to instantly win One Million $s She never got one obviously. Alex asked if she was still collecting and she said no she was not. I think he then said "good".
Million Dollar Basketball Card? OK other than Jordan's Rookie card maybe in a few years what other Hoops card could be a Million Dollar Card?

Or it was just an exaggeration. Like those people who say they want to put their kids/grandkids through college with their collections.

Billy, I couldn't have said it better.
-------------------------------
I will entertain trades but please don't offer me a 1993 Dave Stieb for a Nolan Ryan rookie. I prefer player for player (at least similar era and similar stardom). |

Must have been referring to ebay prices.
-------------------------------
Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

She must be a dull person if she had nothing better to say about herself than a hobby she used to have and doesn't do anymore!
-------------------------------
I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |
