I will be shocked if this one doesn't top $400 when all is said and done. Another masterpiece, Rip.

Any chance of cross-posting this link to NYYFans? That's a sure-fire way to drive up the bidding.

At $400 aren't we already getting into the median incomes of most Yankees fans?

True, but for those hardcore rich fucks who've refused to spend $2,350 on a seat behind home plate (brilliant!!), spending a couple grand on Rip's piece would provide an outlet for their free cash while yielding exponentially greater value.

Just an incredible piece of artwork. Very nice, Kevin.
