The nice (but misguided) guy I bought most of those cards from always has maniacal prices, and you can basically see 99.9% of the same cards in his cases at each and every show he does, because none of his waaaay overpriced stars ever sell. Unfortunately, the collecting world has changed and what used to be the top is now the bottom, so I decided to dig in a bit and realized he still had yesteryear prices on everything (some of the stickers were so brittle from being affixed for so long that they fell off!). Still high, but reasonable enough after some negotiation to make it worthwhile to grab a bunch. Alas, now I sure wish I had bought even more, because by the time the next show rolls around, he will certainly 'new sticker' everything to return his pricing back to the stratosphere where he's most comfortable.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
