As I’ve said many times before, I love sports memorabilia and I love stories about sports memorabilia. However, I’ve never really understood cards selling for so much.
It doesn’t make much sense to me at all. For $5.9 million, you could buy a very nice house. Why would you spend that money on a card?
Yet, we see cards sell for insane prices all the time.

When it comes to sports memorabilia that I think is actually worth the money, it’s all about signed jerseys and game-used stuff.
That’s the kind of stuff I’d pay for. That’s why there’s a signed Miracle on Ice jersey on the wall in an undisclosed location I might or might not know about.
I’d way rather have that than a signed Steph Curry card.
Let us know in the comments how much money you’d spend on sports memorabilia. Something tells me that it’s a lot less than $5.9 million!
