251000 for a MEC 0.3?
edit: MEC 0.5 of course … I forgot that the color scheme is not ISO.

I’ve seen some truly wild prices lately on pieces you’d never imagine would pull those kinds of numbers.
I saw a recent thread on Twitter where these high school and college-aged kids were discussing minor variations in the MEC sleeves; I suspect this one was a very rare 0.5 
It was definitely that valuable to someone. For most of us, I suspect, we’d love to own a 1st gen MEC 0.3 with the unique grip markings. Anything else even for the rarest 0.5 is… whatever.

my first thought was that the card has to be a dedication from the Pentel CEO or sth like that 
a rare sleeve variation … ok … but in this auction definitely rich college kids were involved
