Let a represent the cost of the card prior to the pandemic.
Let b represent the number of shill bidders.
Let c represent the amount of money you're unable to spend on strip clubs, vacations, live sporting events, etc.
a(2) + b(2) + c(2) / 1.5
So, for the 1948/49 Leaf Jackie Robinson in PSA 4
6,500(2) + 37(2) + 5,000(2)/1.5
13,000 + 74 + 10,000 / 1.5 =
15,382. 67
