SOLVED: The mystery of the $1 million Stephen Strasburg rookie card?

By Allan

6/30 16:40: Neal Augenstein of WTOP.com says the seller has removed the card from eBay and wil work with Huggins and Scott Auctions in Silver Spring, MD to put the card up in their July auction. The bidding will start at $9,000.

6/29 13:35: A little more than a week ago, we came across a 2010 Bowman Stephen Strasburg Red Border autographed 1/1 on eBay.  At the time the auction was going for $34,000+.  We kept our eye on it over the next few days and it touched $500,000+ and according to Jim Williams of The Washington Examiner, it reached $999,900 (likely many fake bids) and then disappeared.

Williams checked with eBay and a representative said that the card was pulled before the Monday sale date.

A similar, but non-autographed 2010 Bowman Chrome Superfractor of Strasburg sold in May for $16,403.

Speculation within the industry says a side deal was likely done, but who knows what the final price was, or if it was sold at all.
