I was about to agree with you, but a little more investigating revealed that considering on 5/6/12 a Memory Lane auction of a PSA 5 sold for $3,163.02 I tend to agree with the OP'er that someone got a pretty great deal on this one all facts considered.

I am certain that some of it has to do with some sort of PWCC backlash. Alot of people see these grossly obscene prices that some of these cards get for what they are. They see PWCC, and figure, I might as well not bid, as it is going to go stupid high anyway. That is my 2 cents anyway.

meh...high grade e98's are a dime a dozen!

AND...it's not even Cy Young to boot?!?!? So IMHO...4K for the type that says "cy young" attached to a pic of Irv...is kind of a ripoff!!!

I think the Swamp E98s are overpriced based on availability (now) and demand. Just wait until the rest of them make their way in to the hobby.
I still think most collectors are satisfied with a nice PSA 4 or 5 and won't pay the exorbitant amounts for one of the PSA 8s and 9s.

I agree with tbob, I think they have a lot lower to go. I think that is the second of 8 PSA 8's to have been sold I think the price has no where but down when the others come to market. Also looks like there are 11 PSA 7's so thats not going to help either. Too much supply for the demand at current prices.

I wonder if the Labor Day weekend had anything to do with the low price, and perhaps not everyone has recovered yet where they want to scout ebay for cards. I know that I picked up a few cards over the weekend on what I thought were pretty decent prices.
