I bought the complete set with the Clay panel slabbed as a PSA 1 a couple of year ago. I think it was like $500. Sold it on eBay recently for $8200.

Nice! Might have to get mine over to PSA, er, nevermind.

I don't think you can really go too far wrong holding onto early Clay cards if you got into them several years ago. It isn't like he's gonna tear up his shoulder or beat his wife...

My PSA 2 was $225 in 2015. Rose to about $350 by 2019.

Now comfortably selling for $800-1000

A guy here on the BST board has one for $1295. Wow!

Great thread idea!

By the way, I find that the price increases in the 2010 decade are now so underrated compared to what happened in 2020.

Haha - I agree! When a card went up by $200 US, people would say "screw that sh*t! I ain't buying that!" And now that same card has gone up by $20,000 US! LOL!

That card was always undervalued. Same with the Diamond Star. Still not too bad.
