Card prices tipping point?

I just walked out of the bi-annual Chicago Sports Spectacular without buying anything. I am NOT cheap, but prices were higher than the National that occurred less than 4 months ago, some ABSURDLY so. I have no idea where some people are coming up with their numbers, COMPS BE DAMMED. Many items — of all eras — 1.5-5x logical value with minimal negotiation.

The funniest things I saw:

• Signed/ungraded 1984 Topps Eric Dickerson RC: $400 ... only like 6x actual value.

• 2025 Johnny Furphy (an injured 10th man off the Pacers' bench) Flawless jersey card: $650

I won’t attend another show until the National next year. Happy to spend my $ right here.
