Good job, Peter!

Sure, none of the cards are $10,000 cards, but Mr. Peck has written that he never thought he would see some of his Wrestling All-Star cards climb to $1,000+. Some of the non-sports sets/cards outside the big four still have lots of room to grow, IMO.
I collect the 1972 STP racing set (which is where the card in my avatar comes from). Prices really seem to have risen on those cards over the past couple years.

Great post. Yes, there is still plenty of room for these cards to grow. By the way, what are the top 3 racing cards out there? I wouldn't mind picking them up!

An article from a few years ago references sales at 10k. The only recent sales that I can find are the parallel /87 at 2900, 3300 and 5000. I am questioning if the true rookie /99 has really dropped. Does anyone have a link to completed sales for the RC /99?

It's all very confusing. According to my research, majority of hockey collectors prefer the base card (#'ed /99). The Gold version is considered an insert and is supposed to be worth less. And yes, it would be nice if someone on this forum could tell us about the prices on this card. Has it really dropped by $6,000+ even though he keeps winning? If so, that would be very shocking.
