Not if you bought at the top, and sold at the bottom.

2016 was faraway, so not surprised people don't recall Clemente rcs going over 100k in psa 8 only selling for 20k through 2021.

2016 was IMO clearly a manipulated market on certain cards anyhow. I fondly recall the "buying group." Those were fun threads.

I will never forget a certain one time major AH owner telling a dealer friend of mine, I can show any price realized I want. I also recall cards that had "sold" in that AH showing up literally within a week on ebay -- with a guy I knew to be close to the AH owner -- at 70 percent of the sale price or less. Dirty industry, always has been.

Those cards weren't paid for.

But they were reported by the AHs, certain ebay sellers, and VCP.
