Why did this t206 go so high?

As noted previously, it's not even highest grade in PSA pop report so theory that is goes out the window.

But perhaps the highest graded copy is known to be in a private collection that isn't expected to come up for sale any time soon. If the last sale for this front back combo was in 2009, then this might be the one chance to pick one up for a long time. I know that there are quite a few Chicago Cubs master set collectors out there....

Just a guess, way too pricey for me!!

My guess is someone thought it has a good chance of being bumped. I think the bottom corners are too soft but maybe it could get a 6.5. Would that make it the highest graded?

I have not looked at pop reports nor cardtarget and vcp, but by looking at the research others have done in this thread it goes to show that POP reports mean absolutely nothing compared to frequency of sale. I really think that POP reports now mean nothing when not also looking at frequency of sales with VCP and cardtarget doing a decent job tracking public sales (it does miss lots and they don't cover every auction site).

POP reports and past sale trackers both have faults but when you use the two together you get a better idea of the full picture.

Where did I mention highest graded example? Anyhow- so when was the last time this "highest graded example" was available for sale? Or, better yet-can you buy ANY graded example of this card right now?

Sometimes cards don't have to be "the highest graded example" to be worth something-and any card is worth whatever someone wants to pay for it.
