Happy Start to 2004 for a Very Lucky Baseball Card Collector

Just after New Years, a very lucky baseball card collector opened a pack of 2004 Playoff baseball cards, and to his surprise, he found a randomly inserted card that contained an authentic autograph along with an authentic piece of game-used uniform of both Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb. This is the only one of these cards in existence and the seller has chosen to put the item on the market, by listing it for $50,000 on the NAXCOM.com Sports Collectibles Exchange.

(PRWEB) January 9, 2004 -- January 9. 2004 -- With a Babe Ruth / Lou Gehrig similar card recently selling for $20,000 and a Mel Ott / Lou Gehrig dual autographed card being valued at $16,000, many experts believe that this card will sell somewhere between $20,000 - $35,000.

Eric Beckerman -- CEO of NAXCOM said This type of card is exactly why we launched NAXCOM. The seller has posted his asking price, now buyers can choose to buy it at his price or make him an offer."

If you thought that $50,000 is a lot for a baseball card, it is actually rather insignificant compared to the Honus Wagner tobacco card that fetched a whopping $1.5 Million.

We anticipate that if the seller doesnt receive his $50,000 asking price, he will wait until early February to accept the best offer. Buyers are often very comfortable with shelling out big dollars on NAXCOM, because of the Websites unique buyer protection guarantee. Unlike many of the other risky sites out there, a buyer on NAXCOM pays through a holding account. The seller only receives the buyers funds once they have received and approved of the item. With the NAXCOM Buyer Protection Guarantee, the seller will get a higher price on NAXCOM than if he were to list it on a site where buyers dont receive full protection" said Beckerman.

So if your a baseball historian, this one of a kind item will only be on the market for a very short period of time.
