Ebay auction sale dynamics.

[Casey2296]

I think you have to separate flipper/investors from PC collectors. It's much easier as a PC collector to decide on what you want your collection to look like and what your willing to pay for it. The challenge in an increasing market is where you allocate your money 1st before you get priced out of that particular segment.

Investor/flippers have a much harder time. There are a myriad of strategies to play but recent sales is one of the most important data points. The problem is the sales data can/is being manipulated so you have to revert to more instinctual strategies.

Edit: I'd be super interested to see how the prices of Mahomes vs Brady cards react to tonight's game in the next week.

Under normal circumstances this would be a greater cause for concern. But the market today defies logic. As someone pointed out in another thread the day before the 86 fleer jordans sold on Goldin for 720k, someone bought one on ebay for 350k. Heritage sold one a few days later for 600+.

Now that is not to say this sale is definitely legitimate. But the price alone is not enough to indicate it's not in my opinion.
