I think most of us can't imagine spending that kind of money on a card but from what I understand he has more money than any of us could ever imagine. I certainly don't judge his decision and I think any negative comments about him spending his money how he wants are pretty baseless.
I find it more interesting that everyone seems to think the card is worth more. There was a Lebron RPA thread (there's too many I can't keep it straight) last year and people made their predictions where it would end on auction. I think it was one of the /23 RPA. I seem to remember the auction ending lower than everyone predicted. Could the same statement be made for this card? We claim a card is worth $XX but we aren't the actual ones buying so how would we know? I have to assume that Goldin let all the high end collectors make an offer on this card. I guess Nat was the highest offer.

I have not paid attention to the negative comments about how he spends his money. Hopefully people realize people can spend their money how they seem fit. People can also have their own opinion on what a card is worth or if they feel it was a good/bad decision. But people should leave it at that.
I mentioned in an earlier post though that at least from what I have read, Nat does seem like someone who loves his cards and to me that is the one thing that makes happy that he landed the card. As many bad characters that are in this hobby these days, when a card of that magnitude goes to someone who can appreciate it, and will enjoy it, that is a BIG WIN in my book. Plus, I would think the card will remain a BGS 8.5 and not miraculously be relisted in a PSA 10 holder.
