Commentary is welcomed on if this trend has or will carry over to other Desert Shield. This set has to be one of the rarest in the junk wax era...

I doubt it will carry over much or the silly prices lasting much longer. It would be great if it does for those selling. Plus I have a amazingly cool Jose Rijo DS print error I would only accept silly money for.

From what I have seen the insane price increases are not on everything, just targeted areas. It has worked great for me. I have been selling hot cards and buying memorabilia that hasn't moved in price or has increased very little.

The 1991 Topps Desert Storm Chipper Jones may be 100% legit (and I hope it is) and this is the first I’ve heard about it, but after the last couple of years when I hear about a key card being a PSA 10 I automatically think that it has been micro trimmed, recolored or some other type of alteration, or the submitter knows someone on the inside and gets preferential treatment. I will probably get sued for defamation now .

Cliff—Maybe the fact your thinking on this is apparently an auto response is a mitigating factor
