1952 Topps Pete Reiser Gray Back on Ebay

24 hours in and the card is already up to $1900.

Anyone want to take side bets on what this card finishes out at? I predict $4500.

If it's as tough as I have read it is, I'd say it will get that for sure.

And really that high price is what keeps me from bidding on this card. Because it just doesn't quite make sense that there are far fewer Reiser gray backs graded by PSA, given that he would've been printed in the same ratios as the other grayback players. And he was a fairly well known player, compared to the others in that series, which makes it doubly odd the grayback seemingly survives in fewer numbers than the others.

Personally I suspect there are more out there, and when a card like this fetches a high price, it tends to get people checking their cards. I would not be surprised at all if a couple more turn up in the months to come, and as a result, we'll see that population tick up a bit.

The pop was 6 for a long time and now it's 9. 3 came up for sale just this year, and I only ever remember seeing one sale before that. Ever. With some pops now at 30, the outliers under 15 we can assume are Sps.

I still regret getting sniped on a gray back Ramazotti a year or so ago. He's almost as rare as the Reiser card.
