If you look at the additional pics it looks like it's signed and dated on the back.  That could be why the price is so ridiculous.  Other than that it defies all logic.

The reason it's so expensive is its constant failure to win Wimbledon, despite crazy tabloid hype. Epic and continual grand slam fails = very collectible.

Rad.  This topic should be immediately finished upon the posting of something this funny.

Well, it definitely is not a Jazzmaster, but it's not so ugly. I would gladly have the one played on the YT vid posted above. Not for the stated amount, though.
