Just when I think I couldn't possibly be more stunned, I get double-triple-turbo-supercharged-stunned by a card's price, as happened today. A sharp, ungraded 1960's team card variation (which wasn't even mentioned in the listing) went for $225+. My first thought (after "What the high frickin' heck is going on here??!!!") was it's probably an example of shilling...but then I checked the bids and found two people 'battling' for it into the ionosphere. The similar ones I've gotten recently came to me for only about $15 each. Holy heck!!!

But just when you think it might be time to start selling to get a ton of money to buy other cards you want, you realize the exorbitant amount of money you will receive from a sale won't be enough to get anything else, because those cards, too, are going through the friggin' roof.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
