that seems like a pretty decent price for a "slice" of history?
Did it double in about 3 months or so? I think the inventory is down on Jackie.
dealers typically buy the card and immediately relist it for double. Then sell it when and for what they can for a profit. That's been the business model it seems for years and the prices have just caught up.
Now, You have dealers buying cards like 52 Jackie for 13K and then relisting for 80K. Add "private bidders" to the shadiest Curt Shilling F in the world and this is what we get. It's a supply and demand issue I believe, though I've never been good at economics
I'm enjoying the explosion and I'll enjoy the decline just as much. I always liked Jackie
