Take a look at what's been going on with Wilt Chamberlain cards. I'm not talking about the super pricey earlier ones, but just his 1974 Topps for this example. Any day of the week, the 1974 PSA 9 seemed to always go for a touch over $100, and earlier in the year I finally bought one when I had a lot of CC points to use. It's cool, because it shows (lists) him as a member of the ill-fated San Diego Conquistadors. The original price (including shipping) was $101.99, which was a tiny bit lower than other sellers.

Now take a look at the PSA 9 sales during the heart of the pandemic (the top of the list is the most recent sales price and the bottom is the 'oldest')...

$396.00
$295.00
$430.00
$449.00
$447.00
$410.00
$700.00
$295.84
$244.09
$229.00
$230.45
$299.00

Yowza!!!

And if you look at ebay, the listed BIN prices range from $575 to $999!!!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
