That is too much swing for my investing stomach. I am liking the $100 centered HOF rookies more and more.....Only thing is, I am the only one!! It seems the money is pouring in at the top and I am not a top player .

If you want to know who is manipulating the market go back 3 weeks when the first PSA 8 went for 16k and note the winner. Then pull up all the PSA 7 that sold within that week. You will have your answer.

Same bidder is high on the current 8 being auctioned by manontherock.

Reminds me of the time when high grade Three Stooges card were on fire, as well as the Titus T206 craze. Both of those were fueled by one collector. One man can usually not sustain a market. I guess time will tell.

The best cards keep going up for now, no doubt. And the best cards in certain grades are bringing a lot more than other inferior for the grade examples.
As I keep telling everyone, the day I am reselling cards at guide prices is the day I have made a mistake. I don't want average, ordinary or below average cards to play with. If I were building sets it might be different.....so I understand that aspect too. (more and more) This just came in but is not for sale right now.

I'm interested in buying a Rose rookie & have the funds to do it, but I'm not going to pay the current "market price." If I missed the boat, I can live with that. To me, a near mint example is not worth $3-4K+. That's just my opinion.
