I took a look at 1948-'49 Leaf Babe Ruths last night, and was shocked by how much they've gone up. I guess I shouldn't be, given the market.
A PSA 4 sold on 6/11/18 for $2,030 on PWCC.
A PSA 4 sold on 4/25/22 for $10,500 at REA.
That's over 500% in under 48 months.
I would more understand this for his contemporary releases like an American Caramel, Goudey or Sport Kings. But the Leaf was produced after he'd already passed. It's an attractive card, but it's off era.
I'm about ready for the market to normalize, now.
