The point is there is still money out there that can support a card selling for nearly 150k from 1997. Most will pay more for a slabbed card and so the fact that it is raw doesn't help its cause. Yes there are 10 so you take what you can get but that doesn't mean those searching wouldn't pay more for a higher numerical grade.
Not everyone is going to be in dire straits. If you are a waiter perhaps but they don't drive the card market.
Here we have a Johnson/Bird rookie.

Why not less than the one in January when the market was at all time highs? Why not drastically less?
