Eric BrehmBarry -- fair enough. I'm sure with all your experience in the hobby you have a good feel for what is going on.
The only trend I see is that T206's are generally selling for somewhat less this year than they did last year. Maybe that has something to do with certain well-heeled individuals completing their sets, I don't know. About a year ago some of the nicer cards were selling for double or even triple book; SMR subsequently made an upward adjustment in their estimates and now the range seems to be more between book and double book. Last night's auction results fell into that range and that is what I would expect to see in the near future. There will always be plenty of exceptions above or below that depending on who is involved, the quality within grade of the particular cards for sale, etc.
By the way Scott Ireland did buy three of the PSA 7's last night, so I guess he was a factor in those cases.
