I'm sorry, but that's just nuts. I don't care if it goes for $20M tomorrow, that would just be even more nuts. You can say all you want about the market speaking, etc., but this looks more to me like a market out of control. Tulips in Hollland, subprime mortgages, anyone? It does happen.

I haven't been playing close enough attention lately to say one way or another if that is true but this sale certainly isn't going to hurt the hobby any, imo.

No, it wouldn't seem to, and this could very well just be another new normal as we've become accustomed to them, but then every commodity market has a peak, too. See: Bitcoin, 2021-2022.

Craziness!


Not EVEN a True Rookie Card and a Double-Print to boot.



I sure am glad I got my 1990 Fleer Jose Uribe before 'word got out'.
