From what I've noticed, it seems a lot of the key Leaf/Bowmans have realized some great prices lately.. especially the '51 Bowman Mays and Mantle (anyone noticed?)... but it is crazy what the Robinsons are bringing.
This exact Robinson sold earlier in the year in an AH at about $2600 (if it weren't so late I'd find the link).. and just got $4500, nice flip for a couple months.

.. and 5's are consistently getting $2000 plus after hovering around $1000-1200. I remember watching a solid 5 about a year ago, sell for $975. I was on my honeymoon and the shaky internet didn't enter my bid in time. I told myself there would be another sub $1000 deal.. was I ever wrong about that!

Curious, have others noticed? and do you think these prices can be sustained? or is this just a post "42" spike that will settle down with time?
