I jumped into the main football cards page of eBay today and was floored. Scrolling down the page with highest priced cards first, in between all the cool Tom Brady and Adrian Peterson rookies, one card jumps out at me. A 1991 Wild Card Brett Favre "rookie" 1,000 Stripe PSA 10...with more than four days left has 23 bids and is up to $1,225. What is the world coming to?

If you are too young to remember (does that make me sound old?), Wild Card arrived in the late 1980s/early 1990s when card manufacturers were popping up all over, overproduced draft picks cards like crazy, went down the toilet quickly and disappeared. If you had boxes of this stuff in your closet, chances are you probably threw it away 10-15 years ago because it wasn't worth anything. Wild Card might even be lower on the manufacturers like Pro Set and Classic. At least you can still name a couple cards from each of those manufacturers that might have some demand at this point in life.

Of course, I must be completely wrong if this card is at $1,225 with four days left. Wild Card must be making a big comeback and collectors will soon be clammoring to grab those 1991 boxes and bust them so they can submit cards for grading. Those that had the foresight to save their boxes of Wild Card will now be laughing at the rest of the world, while making big money on eBay. Sorry for the sarcasm, but I can't believe anyone is paying more than $20 for this card. I don't care if it's Brett Favre. I don't care if it's a 1,000 Stripe version. I don't care if it's graded.

Also on eBay, did you notice that there are two 1999 Donruss Elite Passing the Torch Dual Autographs of Walter Payton and Barry Sanders on there at one time, ending roughly 28 hours apart? One sold on Dec. 30 for $2,326, which must have inspired two other sellers to part with theirs. The first one is about three hours from ending and is currently at $1,700, while the second one is little more than four days from ending and is at $1,025.
