Rarely seen monster hits auction...

[philliesphan]

Such a cool card.

I'm the lucky / proud owner of one of the few 1973 Topps Schmidt cards graded PSA 10. Had a few people calling me this past Summer trying to get me to consign to auction, since none had appeared in a few years. Lo and behold one recently sold by Heritage, and another one is currently on the block.

It is interesting how the supply/demand dynamics play out in bringing certain cards to market. Surely, for example, there has been a proliferation of Jordan PSA 10 rookies recently - given the huge surge in price

i think i saw it at 20,000 a few days ago. totally nuts. also i'm an idiot for passing up a rickey PSA 8 for $100 a few months ago. thought it was a little OC for my liking, and ended up with a 7. can't believe the 8s are going for 5 hundy now. craziness.

I wouldn't feel too bad, because this can be said about almost any card in this current Market. Granted I'm more of a collector than a seller, so my perspective is more of "thank God I got it when I did."

9s were 300 when 10s were 30k. 9s are what, 3 or 4k now. Wouldn't be surprised if this goes a lot higher.

Wow, 8's are going for that much?! I just checked my records and I bought mine for $57 delivered on Christmas day (Henderson's B-day) 2016.

What about the ones in the complete sets?
