I dont understand (at all) what has happened to D304s.
Not long ago, but post-Covid boom, that Wagner card, even graded as a 2, was worth $7k-$10k, which is a ton above where it would have been in 2017-18 @ $3k-$5k.
Last year I sold a bunch of stuff, including my D304 set, in Memory Lane. Now, ML gets very good results, but my PSA 3, Brunner Wagner sold for over $50k. In fact, all of the D304s went absolutely nuts. I remember watching the auction late into the night/morning thinking I was being pranked or living in some alternative universe.
I think it was this auction that re-established the baseline values for D304s and those baselines, in one auction, were increased 3x - 5x 2023 levels. Now, D304s are gold. I dont know why and I dont know who/how many people are behind it, but this cool and small set of mutant-looking players (the Lajoie is the ugliest thing on earth) is now the gold standard of D cards, and blows away most E and T sets of similar size, vintage, and players.
But to put things in (crazy context) -- my PSA 3 Wagner sold for $50,000 while a similarly graded T204 Wajo sells for maybe that the same amount.
Juts one of the many crazy phenomena of the day (shrugging shoulders emoji)
