Whilst I agree with many of the points that Ted makes, how can one argue that
$7000 for a 100 year old card with a population of 1 is too much when
certain cards from the 1950's sell for 40% more money in mint condition
Case in point - from Vintage Card Prices.com
1957 Topps Don Drysdale PSA 9
6/15/06Mile High$10,549.70
Which card would you rather have?
Price is and always will be a function of supply and demand. The first time a card
is offered on E Bay or by an auction house, particularly a high grade card, it tends
to command what appears to be an unreasonably high price.
However, if one tracks expenditure on E Bay of 50's and 60's cards in PSA 9
the prices for SGC 88 E-93's or PSA 8 T 206's appears to be reasonable.
What do you think abou that Ted?
Best,
