$1600 for a t206 PSA 6 commons?

Up to $1600. Auction still going. Hard to believe "not up for auction" often would be that big a factor. And still think should not be described as "highest graded" instead of "none higher."

Why is that hard to believe? CardTarget seems to go back usually at least to around 2008-that's 6 years. If this is a card you've been waiting to show up for 6+ years, I could see that being a factor to go big even more so than the high grade. I mean, from purely a collectors POV, I would think to myself "how much longer would I have to wait to see another one show up?".

The key is the front/back combination, in my opinion, more than the high grade. I think the high grade is secondary. Plus, the lack of availability of the combination. People are doing their research is what it tells me.

Also, the card happens to be pretty killer, a very strong, bold example. not saying i'd pay that amount for it, but if i had big-time coin, and liked the way it looked, i'd bid hard without much thought.

Exactly- that amount may be way out of my range, but for some it's like dropping twenty dollars.

I know cardtarget doesn't catch every card sold in the last 6 years, but I couldn't find one in a quick google search. I do believe the frequency does outweigh the grade. I recently paid some very high prices for a card with disregard to the grade because I am going for a back run and wanted the card and apparently so did some others (this was above other cards in the same grade from the same set).
