The Jackie card is the only regret (in regards to not seriously pursuing a copy pre-spike) I have had in building my 52 set...I simply waited way too long to find a Jackie as I had no idea this card would nearly double in value in such a short period of time. Earlier in the year, similar grades were going for almost half of what I paid for a copy last week.
In watching prices (as compared to typical market values) for the key cards in this set over the past 15 years, I noticed typically December is the best month to buy. Well this year that theory did not hold water as the Jackie was twice the price this December as it was last spring. I don't believe I have seen the Mantle, Mays or Mathews from this set double in value over any given 6 month period like the Jackie has.
Will the spike of this card continue in 2021?
