Koufax rookie $$$ jumping

Cards don't double in two weeks, IMO, because of simple market forces. Carry on though.

Mr Spaeth is dead on....Ask around to the major players that sell this high end stuff and see what they say, if anyone would know what is going on they would. They all say the same thing to a person.....


Mr.Spaeth jokes about a "buying gang", that is an excellent analogy...Because that is pretty much what they are.

What will happen when they stop buying this stuff? Prices in my opinion will drop but they will still be way above what they were....

Just my 2 cents, spend it wisely!!!

I was not joking.

I probably should have inserted "talks" instead of jokes.....I know you weren't joking....

It seems pretty obvious, but if people want to think it's just competition for nice cards that has an easy card doubling in two weeks, and quadrupling in two months, go for it. I don't believe it, I've been doing this too long and the card market just doesn't do this. In March or maybe it was February I couldn't move a Koufax 7 for more than 1500 to save my life.

I'm puzzled, why the sudden spike in prices? You seem to know more than you've said and I'm very interested in hearing what you have to say on the topic.

ditto.

and a more important question all together is what is this "buying group's" motivation?

price points completely aside.

is this buying group a set of collectors?

a wall street group?

are they doing this for profit or is this group a set of collectors refocusing or what?


not asking facetiously...

curious as to what your thoughts truly are....
