Has anyone noticed the insane prices some 87T are going for in recent ebay sales? In the last few weeks I've seen Frank Wills go for $271, Tony Bernazard for over $200, a Frank Williams Traded (in black, and smudged!) for over $230...up now are Tony Phillips, Sammy Stewart and Brian Downing, each closing in on $100, and a personalized Joe Niekro Traded that's over $170 already. All this during a recession. Mind boggling. I realize all these guys (except Bernazard and Downing) are deceased but it's shocking to see how quickly these cards have jumped in the years since the pandemic. I guess all the 80s kids are fully formed adults with deep pockets now. Nostalgia sells.

Correct. Nostalgia sells. But, more specifically, there are signed sets such as 52 Topps, 72 Topps and 87 Topps that collectors pursue very, very aggressively.

Also, Brian Downing has not signed anything for years (unless there is a private signing that I do not know about). So no surprise there.

Yes, Downing is definitely a toughie, as are a lot of the others I mentioned. And I realize 87T is collected by seemingly 4 out of every 5 collectors. Still, the prices being realized are orders of magnitude greater than pre-pandemic. $230+ for a personalized Joe Niekro, who wasn't a tough signature by any stretch. The Steve Lake that sold for over $50 looked like it was signed in pencil. I'm certainly not complaining or judging, but it's still pretty surprising to me.

I get it. But in autographed cards:
P = f {set, player, card quality, auto quality} Some sets are collected way more than others. Is what it is. |

I went to the Night of Memories event in Evansville yesterday. I added Graig Nettles on a couple of items, including this one right here.

Wow great card and, more importantly, great auto!
