A common PSA 4 Tolstoi for $283.78? Is that high or do I just not understand how much a kinda rare back is worth?

Yeah, backs have been going nuts lately and I'm not sure why. It also seems like people are hyping them up to be more rare or special than they really are. Just a year ago I grabbed a Tolstoi and EPDG common PSA 2-3 range for $40-50...nowadays that's unheard of. I would say they will settle down, but I'm not so sure.

T206 Freaks, oddities, anomalies, print errors, etc., have really taken off. The one that gets me the most is the minor errors. I get that people like to collect them, but the premium some are bringing in are just crazy. That being said, if people are willing to pay the price, then it is what it is.
