Exactly this. The implication that posts on Net54 and other message boards drove the price of a card that "was on no one's radar" to $23,000-plus in a few days is ridiculous and smells of sour grapes. Add the fact that the card is in REA, whose auctions are among the most anticipated in the hobby, and it's extremely believable that a card that's the white whale for a number of collectors could take off like a rocket. Especially when few can remember the last time one came up for public sale.
