I like the exhibits too. But the prices people have been asking lately for graded ones are astronomical. I think the grading companies wouldn't touch these for many years, so not that many have been graded. And I've seen many listings for "highest graded" examples -- in grades like "4" -- with asking prices that are simply a fortune. Some even sell, I guess to collectors who are trying to improve their registry street cred. But it's really threatening to make these very affordable cards into unaffordable ones. I've seen graded Exhibits in the 3-5 range sell for ten times what they sell for in the same condition ungraded, in the same month.
