I was trying to back up my point. That for a long time iconic cards were in reach of modest collectors. Now you have to be pretty well stacked to get into these markets. Heritage just sold a PSA 1 51 Mantle with scrap book residue on the back for $9,300 with juice.

Your price point on the '51 Mays purchased six years ago reminded me of the card I finally bought to complete my '51 Bowman set in 2007. I had finished the set without the Mantle and Mays cards back in the mid-80's because I considered them both way overpriced at $300 and $200 respectively in EX/MT at that time.
In '07, I broke down and got the Mantle and Mays cards in VG for about $1600 and $700 respectively. Man, I shudder to think what they would have cost me just a few years later.
