And all this talk of rarity is a huge misunderstanding of the Pafko. It's not a rare card in and of itself. It's a conditional rarity. And while cards at the PSA 5 level and up I'd say warrant their value, frankly cards graded lower are badly overpriced. I think it's benefited from the same aura that surrounds the Mantle. All logic says the Mantle card should be far, far lower in value, but because enough people believe they are rare and valuable, they then become valuable. The lie becomes a truth.
