As I occasionally say, "It's not my money."

I am BLOWN away by the final hammer on the Clemente Rookie. A 9 sells/sold? for ~20-30k. 432k!!! Crazy. I believe that may be the highest price ever paid for a post war card (perhaps until a PSA 10 52 Mantle hits the auction block again). I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it.

I scratch my heads at the prices between cards graded 7, 8, or 9 to a 10 as well. This is certainly crazy to me, but people can do what they want I guess.

Most of us here should thank these guys, and be happy they're into 1960's graded 10's instead of what we're into or they'd certainly be driving prices up, whoever the buyers are.

Maybe some of these collectors will find their way over to our niche and then we're in trouble!

when someone wins a card(s) for a half a million, does that person take their private jet to pick up the card(s), or do you send your personal assistant on a commercial flight to pick them up? LOL

The 2nd night of SCP also had some shocking prices a Babe Ruth road jersey brought in almost 4.5 million ($4,415,658.00)
and a Ruth cap once owned by David Wells topped a half million ($537,278.00)
