    The irony of the card is that it was over-sized to begin with, so even being trimmed, it's over-sized. Has PSA acknowledged that the card is trimmed yet or is it still the word of convicted con-artists and felons associated with Mastro that are claiming the card was trimmed?

    Question Re: Worst buy of all time??

    I don't remember the end result on this, but what about the Luis Gonzalez bubblegum wad, game-chewed?

    Wasn't there a Mark Sanchez jersey that sold for @$20,000? That would have to be top 5 too.

    I do remember something to that effect. I remember thinking how crazy it seemed at the time.

    I would not put that jersey anywhere near a top 5. Sure, someone out there lost 90 percent of his investment -- if not, more -- but how could you compare a loss of $18-20K to the millions being lost on other items, like the McGwire HR ball?
    Looking for ...
    Any Game Used Mets jerseys from 1986 and 1987
    Any Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, Lee Mazzilli and John Olerud Mets items

    Maybe percentage wise it could be top 5?

    Right?

    The McGwire ball takes the cake.

    What other items, other than the McGwire ball, lost millions of dollars, or more money that the Sanchez jersey? OJ Simpson jersey maybe? Something from Tiger Woods?
