I was originally thinking that people who do a back run of a player drive the prices up a little, as long as multiple people are doing it, but that is likely wrong because the common backs would still be plentiful and you wouldn't notice a price jump on them.

I know some people hate hoarding, but that is still pretty cool looking laid out like that. I only have two Pelty cards, one in my set and one has a split back and is missing red on front, but I was checking Ebay often once the prices started to jump, looking for someone to post with a low BIN.

I actually have some normal 1952 topps commons guys that I have 25-40% of the PSA 7-8 population...haven't seen prices go up..but will eventually post a picture with all the cards like the pelty....wasn't looking to drive prices up just liked the look of the cards and kept buying them
