true there are alot of nice things you can buy for that price. That being said, and as pointed out, there just arent that many of these 1920 caramel cards areound that are in decent shape. The cards have been undervalued for a long time and now it seems like they are playing catch up with other pre war issues. The fact they were issued with candy, are good sized sets and are chock full of hall of famers such as Ruth and Cobb make them very desirable and collectible. However, as someone who would like to accumulate more of these, I am concerned the deep pockets are scooping them up without any regard prices. Hopefully, this is a temporary aberration. But if you look at PSA 3 and 4s and higher of the earlier E sets (98, 93, etc), those prices have skyrocketed over the last few years and there just dont seem to be enough caramel cards around to meet demand.
