Unfortunately, the pandemic has created the perfect storm of people with money to burn and time on their hands. This means there are truckloads of people who never collected before and have no idea of the usual parameters of desirablility that most seasoned collectors use outside of comps and pop reports. All of a sudden a 1 of 1 has crazy value for no other reason than "Hey look at me. I have a card that no one else has!"
So would it really be a surprise that a 52 Mantle psa would reach 10 or even 100 million? Maybe a little, but no really. There has been an influx of what i call "Stupid Money," so who knows what could happen.
By stupid, i don't ness mean the people are stupid, but the amounts being spent and what they are being spent on makes no logical sense.
