The Red Cross items Legendary sold yesterday were previously sold by Heritage in 2007 as part of a group of 11 PSA slabbed items that brought over $400 each. After that happened I was approached by someone claiming to have about 20 of them, unslabbed. I finally got a good look at them first hand and while they are definitely vintage items, they are definitely cut from a larger piece. My guess is an ad banner or poster. If they were proofs I'd expect to see some printers' marks or other indicia of proof status.
As for the CDVs, I've not seen more than in pre-crash years but I have seen a few more offerings this year than over the last few. I suspect that some collectors are recycling their pre-crash purchases into the market to get out of them after giving up hope of a price resurgence in the near future. Perhaps taking some tax losses to offset other gains?
