Rick...I agree with your comments except for this paragraph. I can't speak for the 52 highs but I built the 66 and 67 in 2014/15 and kept really good records. I am building them again (almost done with 67, 66 done) and there has been a significant increase in cost AND interest in the high numbers, both raw & graded...and the lower end raw has even increased dramatically. I'm talking the "commons", not just the HOF rookies and such which is obvious. I would kill to pay 2014 prices, I'd build extra sets...lol. BIG increase in 6th series for both years as well...
I also disagree that new collectors aren't interested in sets as well. As a set collector, I feel I am competing with 4 to 5 times as many bidders on random cards than say 2 years ago. It's freakin' crazy out there! I've put up some 66 highs on our B/S/T and they were gone in literally seconds...
Ok, back to 75 mini's...sorry about that...I still don't like em....haha
