There are some who believe it's possible to corner the market on a relatively scarce card. Apparently that's what happened with the '49 Leaf Satchel Paige. I know that the Paige is a scarce series, however, that still doesn't justify the $15,000+ price tag.
Rumors are there's a few investors out there that have bought up all the Paiges and are holding tight. Thus, the continuing increase in price.
