the crazy price thread...

Never seen a price jump like this before!

It was $8,800 with 5 seconds or so left and jumped to over $15,000 at the end

That was a damn nice Mathews. A genuinely tough card in that grade especially with that centering as opposed to Rose Koufax etc.

I agree, it was damn nice, but at $8,800, I believe that was the most expensive one I have seen to date, and I thought it'd stay around that or slightly higher until the end.

What really surprised/shocked me, (and of course it's not uncommon but the norm to see price jumps at the very end) is the fact it went from $8,800 to over $15,000 in 5 seconds!

I was expecting a few hundred, maybe another $1000 or so, but to see it almost double was a shock for me.
