Another surge in t206 prices--or just PWCC?

[GregMitch34]

I have a few dozen fairly nice graded t206s but I am hardly a prime collector and don't check prices regularly. However, I noted what seemed to be unusually strong prices last night for such in the PWCC auction, at least for the PSA 5s and especially the 6s. There were a few startlingly high bids--even $1000 or more--for a few common 6s that were only somewhat scarcer than the norm, or were "highest" for not-so- scare backs such as EPDG. Maybe this means nothing because PWCC usually generates higher bids, but what do you think? Pehaps there's a new group of registry people aiming for 5s and 6s?

Two examples:

There were definitely some strong prices. These two stand out to me.

Not a T206 but still a strong price for the grade. I wonder if the price spikes with the Ruth's are spilling over to the Gehrig cards.

I thought this one went kinda high considering that it had paper loss on the back. I had one without paper loss that looked like an '8' that sold for only $50 more.

I think someone got a good deal on this Puttman, (SGC 4.5 for $102.50, considering a PSA 2 just sold for $88, and raws in fair-good are selling for around $100.)

Strong prices on the PSA 5s and 6s. I put in what I thought were decent snipes on 3 of the PSA 5s (Schulte Back, Shipke, Sweeney NY) expecting to win 1 or 2 and wasn't even close. All went for $200+. Reminds me of 2006.

Edited to add: On the Dessau PSA 6 that went for $1K+ there were 5 unique bidders above $525. Tougher common but still impressive.

I think it's just PWCC they're auctions always go higher than they should.
