Still cheap relative to '52 Topps

True. Maybe some frustrated 52 Topps Mantle bidder decided this card was just as good, and a lot cheaper!

The glut of high grade E98s on the market is starting to affect prices. PSA 7s and 8s which are numbers unheard of from 1980-2013 have really dropped. I see E98s on ebay from the Black Swamp Find still trying to get pre- BSF prices and sitting there collecting cyber dust while last night the BSF cards in Heritage went for 1/2 to 1/3 previous prices. The color variations not found in the Find- blue and orange, are climbing but the reds especially and greens are tumbling. The few players who weren't included in the find in any color or the ones that were found in less than a handful still hold strong, like Matty, Kling and Walsh.

I think we all predicted this when the Find occurred. Low and mid-grade E98s hold fairly strong but the razor edge beauties have tumbled. Look at how strong the E94s still are, for example, which have never had a "find."

The blue E98 Cobb ( PSA 4) went CHEAP last night

Dave it did go cheap, but it had paperloss on the back. Would've been a 20 or 30 with SGC. Bob, definitely some decent prices on blues & oranges, especially on the Walsh. But too much dilution on them in this auction and in general. Even with the Find, the E98s are still relatively rare, and these prices they've been going for are stupid cheap given their condition imo.
