What's the deal with '52 topps prices lately?

I still can't forgive myself for that blunder.

We all have similar stories, Brian, and as they say, hindsight is 20/20 but prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.

I still don't know about your card a 100%? Maybe it's as Pokerply stated, 2 guys got caught up and drove it through the roof, or maybe it's as I said, and you got a smoking deal?

I have currently seen a bit of both with 52's. Some prices are down and there are others that make me scratch my head.

I know I still have lots to learn, especially about tough cards and/or black backed cards so maybe what I am seeing with some of these higher than normal prices, for what I thought were commons, is because they are difficult/scare to find?

Either way, you have a great looking card there and one I'd certainly love to add to my collection, so again, congrats on the pick up.
