My example for this type of thing is the 1980 TCMA Ryne Sandberg Reading Phillies card. I grew up a Cubs and Sandberg fan, and so am after this card just for my PC. Graded examples north of 7 routinely sit for months on ebay with 4-figure BIN prices. Really? How often do they actually sell for that much? In big auction-house catalogs, you will sometimes see the entire set sell for like $250. There have been times I've emailed the seller to plead my case, like "Hey if you are tired of that card just sitting there for months on end, I would be interested in the $200-300 range..." But of course nobody is ever interested.
