It would be interesting to list a few such cards in a thread " time capsule" which could be visited in 2-3 years to see how they're holding up

The kid certainly pumped up prices on the 1952 Bartirome, there aren't any for sale, and people who need them are bidding them up to try and just have a copy before they are "gone". The question is, is he going to sell at the top, or is Tony is "father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate" or what have you?

Only one I could find, and it's Dean's cards.

Note the overlap in top bidders with the PSA 7 now at 4K and counting on ebay.

If those are the same bidders running un the Ryan, Clemente, and Koufax rookies then you may be on to something.

Guess people think the economy is healthy again and that is when bubbles are created. I think that is what we are seeing here.

I noticed that as well. When you see them, even ungraded copies, they are up there!

Just read a bit of that and had no idea other hobbies/collectibles were following, (or we're following them?), card collecting.
