I,like most collectors,follow a player or a team.Mine of course is the Bears.
I started following Devin Hester;the way he has been playing is something else.For a rookie he is racking up an impressive record.

I decided to look up the price of his cards on a few other sites;just to see what they are selling for.
One site was announcing an IPO (Initial Player Offering) of his 2005 Topps Chrome Rookie Auto card.

Thinking it may be a few dollars,I thought I might buy it if it looked fair.
To my surprise it started out at $35.00!!
Granted,it's a great looking card;but would I pay that much for it?
NO!
So,how did they come up with that price?
I'm not sure,hype maybe.
So if someone can tell me what determined the pricing of the card I sure would like to know.
