Is there a link? I must have missed it.

There is no link but there is a screenshot in post 15 that is updated as new information becomes available.

For most of us asleep by 11pm last night, this Fan Craze hit eBay and sold in under an hour for nearly $10K!

REA results for m116 Wagner blue 2017 SGC 20 $2400, 2018 SGC 40 $3600.

Why has it gone up 10 fold?

10x would only be 36K but the PSA 3 just sold 53K, so 15x. Several posts above have offered explanations, but it's still hard for me to fathom.

Feels more to me like a fear of missing out.

Perhaps, but I think a card still has to start moving a lot before that fear kicks in and then it feeds on itself?

My gut is that most people buying these Wagners have the money to do so. They are not buying with borrowed-money and they are not hoping to quickly flip. If thats correct, it would create a floor to any loss in value, as its less likely a mass dumping of Wagner cards will occur by those who recently bought them.

I am not sure how much higher they could go (although I suspect there is still room yet to run), but I do think their new values are here to stay.

Very happy I picked up mine when I did. It wasn't something I was looking for, but I got it on a whim at what is probably a fraction of what it would go for today. I know it's not a portrait, but I always prefer "action" shots anyway:

With money saved and invested/gained during the pandemic, perhaps high wealth buyers are getting into this ‘investment vehicle’ (given the tide floats all boats concept-related to the recent $2MM Restored Wagner T206), or upgrading to nicer versions of their existing cards (eg REA’s M116 blue portrait is a VERY nice 1, with 80 bids with no end in sight currently at $25K with buyer’s premium). If buyers have doubled or tripled or more their current Wagner’s value in a year or more, they can afford to sell off what they don’t want.
