Yea I just noticed the same. I bought a couple a few years back for $200. When they hit $500 it seemed over valued given the population. Pretty much any 80s rookie has seen a similar jump that I have noticed. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I won't be buying much at these prices

Not sure what's more difficult to wrap my head around: this, or someone in a neighbor thread who just said his cards aren't part of his net worth.

Just going to accept that it's an alternate universe this evening and go from there.

One sold on eBay yesterday for 350k.

Obviously there is big money in this hobby. But I don't think everyone buying this stuff has a bunch of money sitting around. I'd imagine some are borrowing money or taking out a second mortgage to buy big cards with the hope of making profit.

And with Sterling Auction's closing last night...we have confirmation that CARD PRICES CONTINUE TO SKYROCKET!!!
