barrysloateBrad and Wesley- I was the underbidder (along with a friend) on the Bottomley/McKechnie Maple Crispette pair, and was watching it closely since I too have a Bottomley rookie closing this Thursday night.
That $6800 price was realized nearly two years ago when the top rookie HOF collectors were in full swing. Since both have stopped collecting, you may now find some skewed prices. I think most rookie prices are still very strong, as many of the cards are highly desirable just as vintage cards. But you might find some anomalies, too.
