Jaw-dropping.......no other word for it.

Don't worry, most will be for sale this week on ebay 50% higher.


I have to laugh when a heritage auction closes, and cards are listed the very next day!

It can't sustain

Do you mean in the BST?

When I think of the auctions for new/shiny stuff that result in crazy high prices, I think about musical chairs. One of these times the music is going to stop (prices are not going to continue to rise) and someone isn't going to get a chair and they're going to be left holding the proverbial bag. Let's just hope it's someone that can afford to take it in the shorts. But then if you're going to play, you better be prepared to "be that guy/person".

Hats off to ML for a great auction. A 120 lot auction that raises over $4 million is pretty incredible. I call it the Joe T effect. No one does more to increase auction realizations than Joe. He is worth his weight in gold.
That said, I agree that paying that much for the Henderson rookie 10 or some of the other pop unicorns is ridiculous, especially considering the fact that there are still plenty of unopened boxes left.

Joe T is a hobby veteran who works at Memory Lane. He is one of the most knowledgeable and nicest people in the hobby.

Does anybody here know how long it takes to receive payouts from consignments to Memory Lane? I emailed them about it 19 days after the auction ended, but they just replied "Please note that we do give our buyers 2 weeks to make payment and a lot of payments get sent to us at the end of that two weeks." No update since then. Are they known to be lax about their payment deadlines?
