+1. Concerning $717,000 PSA 10 Rose rookies, $600,000+ Ryan "10's" and the like, focusing on the long rather than short term, I would be far more willing to bet on the "big doom," rather than "boom." In an investor/speculator driven market, most of these buyers don't stay, and when they leave, prices return to the level a true, long-term collector will pay. As I said before, I might be too pessimistic, but once that happens, don't be surprised if the decimal point moves about one place to the left on such items. I like the future appreciation potential far more on the PSA 7 1929 R316 Kashin Mel Ott I just won in the latest PWCC auction than any of the above.
Highest regards,
