Were those the golden years for buyers? Or is this a last hoorah for baby boomers who are going after their prized heroes?
By the way the '52 Topps PSA 2 pictures sold for less than $7k after fees.
I'm trying to make a comeback and upgrade but it's a tough pill to swallow with how the prices have skyrocketed. |
It could have been a lot of factors, but I think a big part of it is that a lot of collectors around my age finally have the funds available to pick up cards like those two that they've wanted since they were kids. Also a lot of guys like myself have collections that focus on rookie cards . And the Mantle is the more important and desired rookie card available.
