I can show countless examples of other cards that went for a gazillion dollars only to come back down to normal type pricing (if there is such a thing).
Does anyone remember the Goodwin Auction about 4-5 years ago where some whales were going after cards from a D304 set? Examples like Cy Young in a PSA 5 were selling in the 45K range. Today, maybe 3-4K would be a reasonable price. You have to be careful assessing prices when those prices are multiples of any other previous record.
