What card price increase (over the last 5 years) shocks you the most?

It seems to me extremely unlikely that there just happened to be an immediate increase in demand of such magnitude that a common card went up 10x at a seemingly random moment. I also suspect this is why it’s slowly been coming down, those small number of people who seem to be buying most of them and pumping it up aren’t sustaining forever. There’s a Green Johnson for every T card collector.

I don't want a green Johnson
