Where have all the PSA 8 1915 Cracker Jacks gone?

Okay, I misspoke and I do appolagize for my comment about the "wealthy not being hit the same way", I certainly know that people in this hobby, this country, and the world have all been effected directly or indrectly by the economic meltdown. However, I know very few collectors (personally) that have had to sell a set which, when they started building it, knew they were going to have to spend $400,000-$500,000+ and had the means to do it that now have to sell. I am, by no means, saying that they do not exist.

I've actually seen quite a few on eBay recently (last 4 or 5 months). They were going really cheap not too long ago. The cards I was watching went for less than $350. I picked up a Delahanty SGC 88 myself for $305 but returned it because I thought it was over graded.

...Probably explains the price, doncha think?

I agree though - there were some on eBay in 2011 that went for good prices. I picked up a gorgeous SGC 88 Heinie Wagner for $455 in February. That card had sold many, many times before in an "8" for $800 (and one freaky sale at Goodwin in 2009 for $2140.00 ). My price was the best I'd seen in many years of looking:

Well in the case of my card, it had an ink mark that I thought was just a flub in the scan. Here is the card. Notice that ink line on Jim's leg. I returned it to the seller who was a really nice guy:
