It's a standard shoebox, but that is really not what I'm trying to get at.

I put together a matrix from ebay this morning that shows the final price of every 1952 Topps card sold over the past few weeks. From what I can tell, here are a few general principles:

(a) less than VG low number commons can be had for $1-$5.

(b) low number, VG commons can be found for $5-10.

(b) VG-EX low numbers can be had for $10-20.

(c) low number common prices really start to escalate with PSA 7's and higher, but even 5's and 6's can be had for $20-$30, give or take.

(d) even a PSA 1 high number card will get you over $50, with PSA 3 high number cards getting up to and over a hundred in certain instances.

Any thoughts or comments about my findings?

Also, what do I need to know about the difference between "Red backs" and "Black Backs"?

Thanks!
