I would prefer threads be in the correct places. But sometimes they do overlap and have relevant info for everyone in the hobby. As for the Rose rookie phenomenon, I agree it looks. to me, like market manipulation by the likes of investors such as Justin and his band of cohorts. I also don't think there are many Rose rookies in 8 holders changing hands in private sales for 16k+.....
As stated with over 380 PSA 8 Rose rookies, I hope those guys have a lot of money. The longer they stay at those artificial plateaus the more will come out and the more they will have to buy to keep the prices inflated. Hopefully they buy them all and everyone else collects other things. That way they can have all of the 8s for themselves and all of their money tied up in them, with no where to go. Last person holding loses, so it seems.

Makes me curious about the eventual impact on blue chip pre war cards, and it tends to change my frame of reference when deciding how much to bid on certain cards.
