I mean a PSA 8 for well under a grand? It basically has the same value as a PSA 8 Luis Tiant Rookie from the same year.

Tiant was a great pitcher, but he's not in the hall of fame, and didn't win 4x Cy Youngs, including one of the greatest pitching seasons ever in 1972.
In '72 Carlton won the triple crown with a sub 2 ERA, 30 complete games, 310 strikeouts and 27 Wins. His WAR was 12.1 one of the highest single seasons ever.

I don't understand it.
Me, either. I'm not complaining, though. I was able to pick this up for a song.
