You can get a PSA10 Topps Tiffany rookie card for under $200 right now. What am I missing? (For the record, I am not a seller of any cards on any platform -- I'm a pure buy and hold forever collector.)

That set is not nearly as limited as some of the other Tiffany sets, and Larkin is just not a very glamorous player -- infielder without a great deal of power on a small market team.
