I expected bidding to get crazy on that one. I sold my Thomas ungraded a few years ago for 1K, but that's still an epic sale that might convince a few others that are sitting on them to sell their copy.

I wouldn't sell my Clark at that price.... Not that it's worth that much, but I've always been a fan of it and it'll take more to move it or have a replacement available

I was watching that Frank Thomas as it's one I've always wanted. It was sitting under $300 till last night, and I was debating how high I'd go but got distracted and missed the end. I think I would've come in third, but still about 65% off the winning bid.

The 2008 All Star triple jerseys numbered to 25 have seen a spike lately. One bidder seems to be trying to put the set together at all costs.

2008 Topps Update All Star Triple Stitches Pujols Berkman Gonzalez Jersey 14 25 | eBay

2008 Topps Update Triple Jersey All Star Stitches Angels 20 25 Ervin Santana | eBay

These cards are actually tougher pulls than the All Star jumbo patches out of Topps Updates. I broke approximately 20 cases and pulled two of the triple jerseys vs four of the patches.

This surprised me:

2013 Topps Pedro Martinez The Greats Autograph Only One on eBay RARE 2 10 | eBay

granted, since 2013 Topps Series 1 came out I have only seen one redemption on ebay (that sold for $280) and this is the only live card I've seen. I've seen two live Griffey Jr's sell for ~$180. I also picked up the 2013 Topps Series 2 The Elite Pedro Martinez /10 auto for ~$180 at auction and figured this would go somewhere between $180 and what I saw the Series 1 redemption sell for.

Blew my mind how much this card sold for, and it doesn't look shilled!

Live Cards can occasionally pull 500% of the redemption price. Especially for a top player, small serial numbered set, and the hard core collectors said player has.

What other examples can you show to back this.
That's a pretty high "guessimate"... even "occasionally".

I've smoked too much since 2008 to remember....but there were a lot of cards that year that turned 500%+ when the card was sold live
