Low supply of cards available creates high prices. This might be an anomaly it might not. The card will never be cheap again. It is a platinum level card and once they become that it is really hard to predict the peak. It can be much higher than you can dream.

Last sale I believe was 54k so quite an increase. That was high from prior sales in the mid to high 30's. Fast market.

I wish low supply = high prices.

It's all about the hype.

Lets test it.

Each of these are the only one. Not a manufactured 1/1 there just aren't any more. Any takers on either at say $50K they're hall of famers, and 22 times as rare as the Jeter 10. So the should be like 220K right?

I was commenting specifically on the Jeter. There are loads of cards with limited availability but with limited demand.

22 copies in a 10 isn't exactly high.

As a good hobby friend and dealer said to me years ago, sometimes the only thing rarer than the supply is the demand. That has been brought home to me on many occasions, including when I got pennies for the highest graded (or close to it) copy of Johnny Mize's rookie card.
