The obvious answer is price as to why all these t210s are appearing. I too wonder if the prices can be supported. I love the set and the look, but outside of Jackson and Stengle, the set has little appeal most collectors beyond owning a type card. Apart from the look, the set also interests me because there are many major leaguers in the set that do not appear on any other card. Sadly, Series 8 cards have gotten so ridiculously expensive that I ended up changing my collecting goals. Trying to acquire 72 cards of marginal major leaguers at $500 each just isn't a realistic option on my budget.

In the end, big prices always bring out more material. The more read and the more I follow acutions and prices, the more I am convinced I am reliving the mid to late 80s card boom all over again. This bubble will burst, just like then. That burst will seperate the collectors from investors, just as it did in the early 90s.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home, I would be arrested. So, I go to baseball games and fit right in.
