Reaches towards insanity, it's already there. Wow! Does anyone think that the eventual winner will actually follow through on paying for the card?

I have alot of cardboard at home I can create a 1/1 Stratsburg card if anyone's interested in paying 16k for it.

June 8th announced as his MLB debut against the Pirates. I am assuming you are there Andrew. Anyone else going? It's sold out.

The highlight of that June 8th game is not Strasburg's debut, but Lastings Milledge's return to DC

If I did get caught up in the big hype of an up and coming young star, it sure wouldn't be a pitcher.

Insane to spend that kind of money on what could be.

Agreed. Could you imagine spending $16k on a Mark Prior, Kris Benson, Paul Wilson, Brien Taylor, or Ben McDonald rookie?

Somebody has repeatedly listed a Strasburg Team USA jersy on eBay, with a minimum bid price of $2K. I've been seeing that listing off and on since at least last October.

Saw Strasburg in the AZ Fall League last year. He seemed like a pretty good kid - he seemed to be signing a lot.

I'm there. My seats are a couple of rows behind the visitor dugout so I hope to get a good angle for the first pitch. Then, I'll cut the photo down and paste it on cardboard and put it on eBay for $16k.
