Walter "Big Train" Johnson
So, I just bought two packs and opened this monster:
100 Walter Johnson - Historical Legend His stats are 118/89/91 with a FB - 82 CB - 107 and Ch - 93 and 100 stamina. He is pretty much a perfect pitcher. My question is that the average selling price is like 500k and all time high is like 800k. I am for sure selling him. My question is are there people who actually have those kind of PP's? What's the likelyhood of this card fetching me 500k? I know you see a bunch of Ruth's, or Mays or whatever for 250k, but 500k? I am going to be disappointed, aren't I? |

Right, I did, but I was hoping someone who lurked the forums might be able to tell me realistically if I was gonna get that price, or even in the ballpark. I dont deal in the Black 100's really, so just looking for someone with experience

You may get 500k if you are patient. You need to realize that you are asking almost $300 real money, and it may take time for someone to have that available and/or be willing to part with it. You might have to keep listing it for a few days until people realize that you won't become impatient and drop the price. Perfect Walter is a top 5 pitcher, and he is worth a lot. You would sell it fast at 300k, but I think you would be leaving points on the table.

This card is one of the top 5 starters in the game, probably better than that.
So yes, someone will buy it. I have personally sold a 99 Jackie Robinson that I opened for 400K PP. Some people just love to win, others love collecting things. Many of them have money to burn on entertainment. I have also spent some money because I enjoy the game, although I would never buy a card like this.

I think top 5 is an understatement.

FWIW, I would put him in my starting rotation for at least a year, just for the pleasure of having him on my team. That was a hell of a pull, you might want to enjoy it for a little while. How many times will you have the chance to manage Walter Johnson?
