Although this is good for the auction houses and those who purchased their Ruth's, Mantles...3-5 years ago. It isn't so good for those of us who are true collectors and not investors. The recent trend on these crazy prices also puts lots of collectors out of reach to own key cards of these HOFers in any decent condition. There is big $$$ now in the hobby more then ever.
Look at the E253 Ruth in PSA 2. Last i checked @ $3600 with the juice.
It certainly is the wild,wild west
