Answer 1

There were 99 cards printed and this is the 90th.

Answer 2

I think he has a lot of potential.  But I agree that it is overpriced.  Unless the card is a limited card i.e.: 1 of 25 or something like that.

Answer 3

I have never seen him play but I have heard the name quite a bit

Answer 4

Not at $56.00 or higher!

Answer 5

Well, supply vs. demand. Those three bidders think it's worth it to invest over $15 on that card, hoping for a better return in the future. I might actually jack that up a little bit myself. It is a good investment....if he doesn't suffer an injury that can hamper his playing abilities....

Answer 6

First of all, he is an talented young player. Second, this is a limited edition (90of 99 is printed on the card). Third, its an auction. People will pay whatever they want to if they really want that item, like a die-hard collector. It may be worth something if he lives up to his potential, or be worth nothing if he sustains a career ending injury.
