JP2 Bests Bonds



According to Beckett Media, whose pricing guides are the acknowledged arbiters of value for collectible trading cards, a limited-edition Pope John Paul II from the 2005 World Treasures line of card maker Topps has sold for $8,100.

In comparison, Beckett said, regular cards depicting Barry Bonds, who is contending for baseball's all-time home run record, have never sold for more than $1,200.

All without steroids.

Amazing.

There's a moral in there somewhere.

  2. I didn't see a Reagan card mentioned in the article, but I love sending letters with the Reagan stamps...especially to my liberal friends.
