CJ 14 prices surging--theories?

I think some of it can be attributed to the centennial.

I agree that this is also a factor. This and the recent book I'm sure raised interest in this set. It did for me (until I saw what $$ it would take to build a set).

I think they will eventually cool off a little but not like some other caramel sets from 7-10 yrs ago have..while we are here, I have had these as my types for quite a while...I got the Purdue in a 3 holder and have $20 into him and the Jennings is raw in GD+ and I paid $45 for him. I paid $400 for the Knabe raw (now in a 40 holder) in a poor deal I did. (ya' can't win them all)

That Knabe card of yours is no longer a poor deal. Trust me on that one!! Very nice for the grade. And quite a coveted card.

wow.....I just checked a LOTG auction and one got $1900+ in a 3.5 holder and this one is a very old grade and could maybe bump to that. I guess my buy and hold strategy paid off on this one. Thanks for the heads up....I really didn't follow it.....

Good stuff Leon. Quoting the Buffalo Springfield song...as far as the 1914's go, "There's something happening here.." They are on the move.
