What card price increase (over the last 5 years) shocks you the most?

[parkplace33]

For me, 1933 Goudey Ruths. 4 years ago, you could get a 1933 Goudey Ruth PSA 3 for around 3k.

Nowadays, that same card is at least 5 figures.

Details, please. I feel like my boxing stuff is sitting still or regressing even. Though a 1939 African Tobacco Louis PSA 5.5 hit a heck of a price this morning on eBay.

You don’t remember Johnson skyrocketing almost overnight in 2020? You could get a decent looking T218 for $30 in 2018. His stuff is still trading at multiples of what he did pre-pandemic but it was pretty wild for a little bit in 2020.

All of them :-(

Ahh, 2020. I thought you meant in the last few months. Not that I plan to sell my T218 until the end--it is one of my favorite cards--so prices weren't really material to me.



I do wish I'd sold my T227 into that market...Oh well, it is nice to look at.

I love his T218 and T227 poses. Johnson had a lot of good looking cards. The T218 is a superprint and one of the most common of all T cards, so it's price still seems far too high for what it is, but you know what opinions are like. I've got all his T218's but I need 2 more of his T227's. Those are going to hurt to get...

I held on to some of my key boxing cards, and decided to send PSA my 1936 United Tobacco Joe Louis for grading this week. In about 3 months I should get it back. It looks better than the quick pictures I snapped that are attached. I just snapped them to have a picture in case it gets lost. Just wondering your thoughts on it? Regardless of grade, I think it's a cool card.

1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle PSA 4

$8,000 pre pandemic Feb 2020

$32,000 4/22/22 REA


Can we please deflate this back to normal growth maybe 12k-15k ish

[Jstottlemire1]

48 and 49 Jackie Cards! I may get a lot of flack for this one but I was asked for a opinion. I have however also seen it begin to normalize!

[bnorth]

The lower grade T206 Red Cobbs have gone crazy over the last few years.

[Lorewalker]

52 Topps Mantle, 49 Leaf Robinson, 49 Bowman Robinson, 52 Topps Robinson...all great cards but wow.

[Peter_Spaeth]

2009 Topps Stephen Curry RC. A few years ago I bought a PSA 9 for under $150. Now they're pushing the upper 1000s. Crazy.

I am guessing the appreciation in the Alifabolaget Pele RC might outstrip everything else percentage wise.

[Republicaninmass]

Any t206 or 33 goudey hof.

Many many many of these cards were treasured and every auction had a huge glut of commons from these years. People always saved the stars, commons not so much.

Plenty of supply, just eye popping prices
