To me, this is a $1,000 card, regardless of the fact that it is a CJ, featuring the ever-popular Joe Wood.
This does not feel normal. The speed of these massive rise in values is not a good thing for the hobby. We are racing towards a bubble. I can see panic selling of intrinsically worthless pieces of cardboard. Hope I am wrong.
You think 15's are hot?! Try buying 14's right now! Damn. Went from $200-$250 for a PSA 1 common to $500-$800 and up depending on pop scarcity. And if you need the JJ (like I do), be prepared to sell a kidney. That card went parabolic after the potential HOF news.

*Proudest hobby accomplishment: finished (and retired) the 1914 Cracker Jack set currently ranked #7 all-time.
