One
of my blogging goals for the new year was to follow up on stories, this will
allow me to expand on some stories or cover card sales or trades.
I began reading through some of my early posts the other day and I came across a post I wrote about Maurice Clarett and his problems after leaving Ohio State. In the story I had some links to a seller who was selling a couple of unique 1/1 Clarett cards at an insane price. Prices that were unbelievable even during Clarett's short time in the NFL. Imagine my surprise when I clicked the links and not only does the seller still have the cards, nearly five years later, but he has increased the prices from the original $1,000 price. What would make a sane person think that cards that don't sell for five years of a never-was player/criminal who’s entire NFL career was a pre-season with the Broncos has increased in value over those years?

Here are the current listings: 2005 SPx Spectrum and 2005 SP Authentic
Maybe I should check back in 2019 to see if the cards are still available at $2,000. When you do a search of Clarett's card you find that after this seller's cards ($999-$1,499) the next highest card is $100. I understand his cards are 1/1 but there is a reasonable price range and a unrealistic price range, these cards would be the latter.
