So, when the clear best hitting catcher in the game goes for over 300K, then the new card that is probably the 2nd best catcher (he doesn't need a platoon on the elite teams like other top non-Gibson catchers and gets the handedness advantage every at-bat), 300K in the first month of its existence makes a ton of sense.

I'm not shouting at clouds although I am old. Just wait buddy, time will fly by and you'll wonder what the heck happened. Trust me on this.
I agree switch hitter is a big plus and I admit I platoon Johnny Bench but that is a ton of PP and I'm not seeing the return for so high a cost.
