You def got about the nicest card possible for the price in this market. It seems like maybe grade 3-4 '48 Robinsons haven't increased at the same rate as the bottom tier or upper tier.

The growing "gotta have the card" aspect has really made the lowest grade superstar key cards do well in the last couple years. People would rather spend 8 k for something that's been through a washing machine than 11 k for your card.

Could never agree on that, but whatever floats their boat

Take a look at what's been going on with Wilt Chamberlain cards. I'm not talking about the super pricey earlier ones, but just his 1974 Topps for this example. Any day of the week, the 1974 PSA 9 seemed to always go for a touch over $100, and earlier in the year I finally bought one when I had a lot of CC points to use. It's cool, because it shows (lists) him as a member of the ill-fated San Diego Conquistadors. The original price (including shipping) was $101.99, which was a tiny bit lower than other sellers.

Now take a look at the PSA 9 sales during the heart of the pandemic (the top of the list is the most recent sales price and the bottom is the 'oldest')...

$396.00
