Totally agree bobbvc...many lots are above estimates if not more than half of them. For instance, the Mint 9 1962 Topps Mantle went for almost $500,000 while the estimate was $300,000- up. Auction houses do their best to get the best prices for consigners, not scare away bidders. Mr. Market has the final say and based on results so far, I would say the market/hobby is healthy.
