I think that this info is starting to take hold.

I bought the 57 Lloyd and Clifton for around 20 a piece, and my Kenny Washington 48 Leaf would likely grade a 4-5 and if I paid 25 I would be shocked. These have all jumped astronomically in the past 5-6 years from those prices.

The only one of the barrier breakers that has not moved much is Willie O'Ree. I have 3 BeeHives, but I think the non-traditional format of those holds them back. I see high ebay museum list prices, but I likely paid between 5-10 bucks for mine on auction listings.
