Talk about hiiiiiiiiii-iiiiiiiiigh hopes!!!!!
Everyone's wondering WTF is wrong
(er) with
eBay these days, and I found a prime example of what answers the question for me...
Here's a
1973 Kellogg's #27 (See what the cereal folks did there, giving him number 27? Nice!!!) Carlton Fisk.
This is one of the easiest
'Topps Era' sets to complete in all
PSA 10, because the
54 cards were mailed to kids as an eighteen deep stack of 3 attached/perforated cards. Since they were seemingly
(perhaps due to the lack of 3-D magic?) stored away and forgotten about, the vast majority were left in pristine condition, so you're basically guaranteed to get a
9 or
10 if you detach one and send it off to a
TPG, so there's honestly not a lot of value there
(except, of course, for a couple of the big stars).
But I digress...
Here is a listing for a
Fisk, followed by what
PSA 10s of that card routinely sell for.
(With apologies to Doris Day) That's a pretty frickin' large rubber tree plant to move...

But, hey, at least you'll get everyone's favorite
"Authenticity Guarantee" to ensure this card of
Ruthian value is legitimate...so you got that going for you, which is nice.
Better act fast before it's gone...a measly 5,000%+ mark-up is nothing!!!!
