Going Horizontal for Vertical Cards
A potential $15 million+ LeBron James true rookie vertical auto Logoman 1/1 card is still somewhere out there. Let the chase begin! Lots of sports-card-soup ingredients going on here when you add in the “horizontal” and “vertical” in the card description.
And while I’ll never own that card, I do have a serious question for y’all: there are two cards in this scenario, both of them are 1/1 and have the same exact attributes (Upper Deck, rookie, auto, Logoman) except one is horizontal and one is vertical; what makes the vertical version “more valuable” than the horizontal? It’s that we just all decided that it is, right? There’s no real other reason why, right?
I get the whole “ugh, I have to turn the card sideways to look at it and I would rather pay more money than to not have to move my hand 90 degrees every once in a while…” I totally get that. I’m as lazy as the next guy. But at what price?
