I usually agree with you....but I cannot this time.
I acquired my first MAGIE card in the 1980's. It cost me 600 for a Vg one. I sold it for 1500 in the mid 1990's.
In 2006, I bought another MAGIE card for my PIEDMONT set. It cost me 4000 for a Vg one.
Nowadays, MAGIE cards in similar condition are selling (direct sales or Auctions) for 10K, or more.
