t206 HOF cards climbing in price?

Same night, same card, same grade and sold for $250 less...

.. granted it may not be quite as nice as PWCC, but huge price difference for the same night. I've noticed a lot of HOFers that I'd bought over the past 2 years fetching a good deal more than I'd paid (Matty dark cap and white cap, Cobb bat on, Young portrait and bare hand, etc) but can't say I've tracked closely enough to see if it is a trend.

Want to note, I have bought several cards from PWCC and have been very happy with cards and with service by phone/email.

Weil, I'm hoping price hikes are real and especially for that Waddell at $510 for a 4. Just last week got a 3.5 with great image and centering for $180 and thought I'd overpaid a bit...You linked to a 4 that went for "only" $260 last night and wondering why the price different. From scan, it was a rather "dirty" 4 but still got above average for Waddell. So perhaps there is a current move to paying a lot extra for extra-nice examples. I hope that's true as I collect nothing but well-centered clean t206s...and have always hoped for a "bonus" for that. Perhaps that is now happening, at least for HOFers.

Or maybe people just finally believe that economy is better and will NOT collapse in near future???
