The 55 Clemente went from 30 to 60 in less than a year in PSA 8 and was at 15 less than 2 years ago. If it's the same group manipulating alot of the cards that have been run up it would be nice to know what's next.

What would be nicer is if it stopped. Price manipulation has massive repercussions to those who are not part of the group--which is 99.99999% of us. Everyone was up in arms over the isolated shill bidding at Mastro that they all claimed established new price points for those items shilled. This goes far beyond that.

To think there's some cabal out there manipulating all these key cards is really silly. Does it happen here and there, sure.
Guys want prices low when they buy, and then cry or cry foul when prices rise on things they want. Not so much when prices rise on a card they own. Pretty funny. There is stiff competition for beautiful cards, plain and simple. |

Here's a theory,
We know for a fact that there is new money in the hobby. As stated by others some wealthy new collectors have come to cards possibly for investments or partly collecting. This fact may have triggered those who are manipulating/shilling prices to increase their gains by these artificial prices that only so few can afford to pay. I know of one collector who is wealthy and is paying these high end record setting prices for these key cards that you guys speak of. He seems to feel that the trend will continue and prices will rise further so it is ok to pay these record $$$ amounts and hold till prices increase further. As they say if there is blood in the water sharks will come Again, just a theory and i may be way off. I know collecting for me has become more difficult as i refuse to pay these record setting prices which are now even affecting even low to mid grade level cards. Guess just seat back and watch till the dust settles. Only question is how dusty is the situation and how long till it settles. Enjoy collecting
