Not to me. Maybe $25-$30, tops. It's not even that large. 3 x 5 feet, bath towel size.

Veronica probably wouldn't have to think twice about the price, but she'd be put off by the fact there are 4 images on that blanket of Betty together with (or kissing or embracing) Archie, and only 2 of Veronica together with - but not actually kissing - Archie (that's not counting the ones where the three of them all share a panel equally).

Maybe if I saw it in the thrift store I would buy it.

Maybe if it was a soft fleece blanket.

Yeah, it's. A 60-40 blend, so not even soft fleece.  The fringe and images are probably spiking the cost, as well as whoever thought this would be worth $53.00.  I wonder what the cost of producing the fringe is?  While it makes the blanket interesting, that little detail may have outpriced the market.
