Coverage or not, I dont see anyone with a bit of knowledge paying $6k for a 33 Ruth PSA 1, or $5k for a T206 Red Cobb PB PSA 2. Heck, I saw a Catfish Hunter PSA 8 RC, normally about a $200 card around $600... Catfish Hunter.
What the coverage does is get people who havent a clue about the hobby into it. He is doing a great job at that and like you said, he's reaping the benefits (and even more so the family).
I definitely wasnt knocking the auction house, Im just wondering WHO is bidding this amount. And if it's someone new, do they realize this isnt eBay where you just can't push a button and cancel your bids/winnings.
