My thoughts are I should have been on this a month ago lol. Who knows what's up with some of these cards and their dramatic price explosions, on the one hand yes there is a lot of new money in the market (e.g. sneakerheads), on the other hand some of the patterns from prior manipulation we have seen such as 2016 seem present now. And of course once again PWCC seems to be the locus for most of the off the chart sales. Draw your own conclusions there.

The dramatic runup of Pippen rookies (5x maybe?) followed by a sharp and predictable fallback, a couple of months ago may foreshadow what's happening and will happen on some of these cards more recently. I am not sure. I'm suspicious, but not so confident as I was in 2016 about manipulation.
