You really can't be serious.
You want to compare a sports card printed in quantities of perhaps 50 million to a one of a kind and the only one domain?
You can't be serious, can you?
I used to laugh my *** off when I sold Mark McGwire rookie cards for $300 bucks each when he broke the record. They were going for $450 to $600 a pop.
Why did I laugh my *** off? Because I have perhaps 100 of them that I bought at cost in the "Year End" sets.
Here is a real test for you and your math:
How many A Rod rookie cards were printed by Topps, Donruss, Fleer, and the countless other makers?
Millions? Billions?
How many Joe Dimaggio, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams baseballs were actually signed by them in their lifetime? Tens of thousands? Perhaps even more were forged?
How many SolarEnergy.com domains are there?
How many will there ever be?
My god, please come back and present a better argument than comparing domains to baseball cards and using a Beckett publication as a guide.
And stick to buying and selling domains or perhaps baseball cards on ebay.
