So, yeah, in a game with 'points' as the medium of purchase, I can see it.

I don't necessarily think it was someone who saw him, but I do think we'll see people bid for their favourite players or interesting historical players and he was definitely that. Not everyone is going to collect just based on how well a player might do for them. I'm sure some people are going to want players just to have them in their gallery. I know in the beta I was pretty stoked to pull pretty much every all-time great Yankee (except for Ruth), but I usually didn't keep them on my active roster long, if at all, because I could get someone better. But I still liked that I got them.
