Did anyone notice anything unusual in H&S last night?

One example
1974 set...stars are described as exmt and everyone is way off center
This is a set I would have a hard time selling for 300 on here or ebay
Someone paid with bp and shipping $1100

Kooky - this explains why I bought 200+ 1977 RC Cola cans the other day.

Just need 2 people who want something bad enough at the same time. Never happens to me when I consign stuff of course.

Don't feel bad. Me either. I'm used to setting record lows.

I have seen it in multiple auctions across multiple collectible categories. Stuff as nuts as the 74 set you mention. Someone in the psychology field should do a study - rough guess too many people with tot much time on their hands and money burning a hole in their pockets?

I had a high bid of 725 on a lot of modern autograph insert cards that I went to bed on and woke up to see the lot went for $1200. It was worth about $900-$1000 retail (I looked up everything on ebay and worthpoint). Card prices are soaring right now.

agree there were some unusually high prices, but doesn't that happen every auction?

I was outbid on everything. I probably should have stayed in on the T205 Speaker Hassan, I think someone might have done pretty well on that one. You're welcome I didn't bump it again.

Yes..unusual hi prices in every auction
BUT unusual high prices on just common run of the mill sets
74 set 1100?
67 set psa 5 seaver 7 mantle rest raw exmt avg maybe
$8500? Complete set of 7s. Smr 10k..that's with 5000 in grading fees
Look at the other sets 60s and 70s
It's just weird
