If anything, I think these two prices point to how illiquid and volatile prices are in these sets (and others like them).
The Tinker last sold for $4183 in Heritage 2014, and that was a high price at the time relative to other sales within the set. With the eBay Tinker sale, two bidders put in what look like nuclear bids just above 5k -- the seller got lucky. Out of 17 bidders, the second underbidder only bid $2444... So where does the next PSA 4 Tinker sell tomorrow, if one existed? Probably $2500 at most.
On the Crawford, a nice example sold for $1375 back in March. Slightly lower technical grade, but almost as nice from a visual perspective.
REA had several very nice, high grade T215s in their last two auctions that barely cleared 1000 for non-HOF...SGC 60s range.
These two sales (Tinker/Crawford) look like outliers to me.
Cheers,
Steve
