Looks like all of the people calling for a collapse will just have to keep waiting. The Rose was 157k in 2012. Very impressive price!

Not clear to me in a rational market how a Pete Rose Topps card from the 1960s could be worth 20 or 25 times what a Gehrig rookie card (less than 45 in existence) fetches. Or about 10 times what a Shoeless Joe CJ reels in. Maybe someone can figure that out.

Bragging rights. Only one person gets to say they own a PSA 10 Gem Mint.

Yes, and when someone finds another 10 in a book somewhere your investment may look like a NY taxi medallion the day Uber showed up. Through the floor.

Ask the buyer of the only PSA 10 Wayne Gretzky how they feel about their purchase at 94k. Was ridiculed to no end online at the time for sure.

Fast forward and card sells for 465k.

Not everyone views their cards or collection as an "investment," and ties pleasure to what they are worth.

If one's card collecting hobby includes waiting or hoping for another Rose PSA 10 to get graded to indulge in some schadenfreude, one really needs to look inward and get rid of that bitterness and bile. I personally suggest yoga and lots of time on the beach

Not rooting for anyone's card to go down in price. Not sure why you read that into my comment. Just stating the obvious: there is a lot more undiscovered recent cards than old ones. Any if you think someone spending 700,000 on a card is not a speculator for profit I disagree.

Not sure anyone here stated a collapse of the 10 market would take place. That is an entirely different animal but there are many, including myself, who said the 9s and lower market would correct and it has almost across the board.
