These are some of the 52's I was talking about. Maybe these aren't as high as they once were, like in 2008, but from what I have noticed/tried to pay attention too, they seem like increases or very good realized prices to me?

Granted, these are some very nice cards with nice grades, but I believe some of these are new highs, or sold higher than current VCP prices?
Please don't flame me if I am wrong, these are just my observations when I seen what these cards went for recently.
