Judge Dred (Fred)I'm of the opinion that the price for this is a bit inflated but the fact that this has a bid indicates there's a market for it at that price. As a seller you try to maximize your highest realized return.
On the flip side there's been a lot of good comments about Topps exposing collectors of non-vintage material to these cards. That's a good thing because it generates more collecing interest. I suppose you could look at that two ways:
- More competition for vintage material (not so good)
- Increasing the number of collectors that share the same interest (good)
I guess when you think about it the exposure just might scare the heck out of potential new collectors after they see the price of some of this stuff.
