High prices lately for 52's. Am I missing something?

Ditto, on Greg. I've won a few auctions of raw cards from Greg recently which looked as good (or better) in person than they did in the scan. And FWIW, I was happy with the price and didn't feel I overpaid either. Not '52s though.

Also just look at the price point...whether its a 100 dollar card that sells for 200......yeah its a huge increase..but its still 100 bucks...for some people time is worth more to them then 100 bucks...they know they can get the card in a week or so for less but its not worth it to them.

also for some reason people rather pay 200 at auction for a card that sells for 150 regularly versus paying 200 on a BIN.....for some reason the buyer does not want to feel like a sucker and pay the BIN price but will pay the same thing in an auction as its not a personal buy and sell with a specific seller so the buyer does not feel like a sucker...so im told


when its over a few hundred bucks , i dont think that creates market price on a lone sale or 2....when you see a rookie ruth go up by 100k, then thats more than just convenience....

I have always gotten a nice premium for a decent maxwell. That price does not shock me at all.
