Chewed Up Michael Vick Card Goes for $7,400 on eBay

Barry Bonds’ home run balls aren’t getting any attention.

However, some chewed-up Michael Vick football cards have sold for $7,400 in an eBay auction with proceeds going to the Humane Society.

The seller gave the cards to her Great Dane puppy to chew on and then thought (how this idea came into her head I will never know) maybe somebody will buy these chewed up cards.

Sure enough…$7,400 later somebody did indeed buy them.

My dad used to say that people will buy anything. If you put a bucket of crap (not his word) on the front porch, sooner or later somebody would buy it, either because they want the crap or they want the bucket.

He was right.

So, who is more foolish in a case like this, the seller or the buyer?

Probably the hitter, IF it were Barry Bonds.

Now, if the Great Dane who chewed up the cards was on steroids when he did it, the price would go way down, I’m sure.
