$23,811. Can that price possibly be real? Five bidders went over $10K, so I hope so.

I don't feel so bad paying a hundred bucks for the Ben Grieve now.

Is it just me or does that have a refractor line??

2007 TOPPS STERLING BAT BARREL NAMEPLATE DAVID WRIGHT 1/1 A TRUE OF A KIND CARD | eBay

It is a booklet. I personally pulled this card. Card appears to be in N-Mint or better condition. None have been sold recently either.

I feel like the seller left money on the table on this Wright barrel/patch booklet.

To think that group-ownership MJ 10 was bought for $161K, had an offer of $225K or something, which was rejected by the shareholders last week, and this week they're selling for more than triple that. Just insanity. Where were these people before last year? Did they not know cards existed? Did they have to wait for them to become "hot alternative investments" again? Did someone need to lead them to the water?

A BGS 9.5 2014 Flawless Lou Gehrig sold for $325. This set is 100 cards, numbered to 20, with a diamond embedded in them. I've been collecting this set since it came out and that's the highest price I've seen on any such card. Maybe a green #/5 or 1/1 may have sold for more, but that's a pretty strong price on a #/20, especially for a Gehrig.

A couple of guys who do breaks out of my LCS have been paying $800+ for Panini football BLASTERS (I don't know which product, not a football guy). Yes, $800+ for blasters, and they're still making huge money off of those breaks.

That's a pretty popular set, seems like a good deal at $20.

New card year releases are always chaotic and full of surely regrettable purchases.
Not sold yet but the first 2021 Topps short-printed variation "Masked Trout" has hit ebay for $2000.
2021 Topps 1952 Redux Luis Robert = $355
2021 Topps 1986 Insert Jo Adell = $40
2021 Topps Through The Years Derek Jeter reprint w/auto and 1/1 stamp = $49
2021 Topps Through The Years Mike Trout reprint w/auto and 1/1 stamp = $595 and counting

These Through The Years cards are going to be a major source of pain in the coming weeks. Topps reprinted cards with autos, patches, and 1/1 stamps and buyers, and possibly some sellers, appear to think those things are on the actual card, not the card shown in the image. The Trout listing is particularly unscrupulous because it does not show the back of the card, which is where it states the card is not autographed. Way to go, Topps.
