Sold in 2009. It has since beaten its own record with a $3.12 million sale in 2016:

I think our next task should be to find out when these "facts" were made based on the ones you listed. If they made no mistakes, then the time frame is down to somewhere between 2009-2016.

It needs a separate thread so people will see it, but it is Wyatt Childress, Catcher, Georgetown HS, 2019. Great kid with great parents... both of whom attended Texas A&M.

Almost there!
The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Now this one is untrue. I assume it's talking about the possibility of a batter getting to first on a dropped third strike. It's a strikeout, but it's not an out.

The American continents were named after him. The United States? Not so much. You could make a case for the "of America" part, but I would argue that part is not named for the man but for the continent which happens to be named for the man.

My dad always says that he is thankful we were named after his first name, can you imagine us being a world power with the name Vespucccia. Doesn't have quite the ring America does....

Vespuccia sounds like a made-up country in a fantasy novel.

Get rich quick scheme.

Here's a bored off-season task for the baseball board today:

1. Figure out how much money you'd have if you doubled it for 196 days.
2. Figure out how much money you'd have if you'd started doubling at the start of the countdown and stopped on Opening Day (257 days).

Nooooo... I'm a history major, making me do math is like putting me in a mental Guantanamo Bay!
My answer is a lot more money than I have right now. Lol.
196 to go!

I guess nobody was bored enough to take on the task? Or maybe everyone is afraid of very large numbers? The math is easy, no need to be afraid.

1. (2^195)/100 or $5.0216813883093446110686315385661e+56 (a lot)
2. (2^256)/100 or $1.1579208923731619542357098500869e+75 (a lot a lot)

And this goes back to EB's claim that the USA is named after the region which is named after the man. West Virginia wasn't named after Queen Elizabeth, it was named after Virginia.
