Question about strange high t206 SLg bids on eBay

........waiting for the E90-1 set to take off! Did you not see the Buster Brown (Horizontal Common) that was graded Fair and sold for over $180 on eBay a week or so ago? Also, some of the other graded commons went for very strong prices. It seems that ONLY the more common cards are remaining at semi-decent levels - Matty, Cobb and a few of the other more common cards from that set. I did manage to pick up one of my favorites for under $170 - a PSA 4 Mordecai Brown - super looking card with a nice and unusual color scheme (at least I think so). Luckily for me, I am not working on a set, so I can back off the higher cards for now and focus on the ones I can grab at decent deals! I did jump on the "Ban Wagon" and buy a FR/GD ungraded Buster Brown for around $60 - only got it for my caramel Horizontal collection though. As for the Joe Jackson Rookie, I found out in the Sportscards Plus auction, one cannot even get a PSA 1 for under $3k now!
