Anybody else watching this Roberto Clemente RC on eBay?

Yep. Greg Morris was also getting some huge bids on the raw '66s, even by Greg Morris standards.

Just a thought, stimulus checks on the way?

Maybe? Or the spike in traffic (presumably) from the big PWCC graded auction brought extra eyeballs and bids to the raw cards as well? Do any of the people who buy high-end graded cards ever also buy raw?

Sorta off topic, but this did spur a thought. Does anyone have a feel for which Topps sets are more popular? I am working on both 1960 and 1965. I bid in a lot of Greg Morris auctions and have firm rules (25-30% of BV for VGEX, 30-40% for EX, and 40-50% for NM.) I will have been bidding on 30-40 cards on each set break from those two years. I will, invariably win 6-8 cards from 1960, but generally strike out in the 1965 breaks. In fact, I think I have won 3 total cards from '65 over the last half dozen breaks. It makes no sense to me.

And to bring it back on topic, I find the prices on the 1955 Clemente depressing. I am 21 cards from finishing 1955, but don't expect to ever finish unless prices come back down to earth. My wife is an equestrian and she just bought a nice French dressage saddle for $650. When I lamented that the cards I need to finish a couple sets (missing the Ryan rookie for 1968) could cost that much or more, she looked at me like I am crazy. And, she might just be right.

I don’t know how scientific this is but it might help with your question above - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KivgVDffUtk

I was going to try and buy it but I thought $100 for shipping was a little steep.
