Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but there's also another factor in play which is that HBO is going to release their documentary on Willie Mays this year. A lot of people are buying up his cards while they still can. It's not always about "making a buck". His cards are going up. They've been going up for a long time now. High end vintage in general is drying up. If you want his cards, yesterday is the time to get them. Despite the outpouring of nonsense to the contrary though, don't feel bad for buying a Willie Mays card. It really doesn't make you a bad person. Honestly, it doesn't.
