In the end, it's probably more demand, but every post I read in this thread makes sense. A lot of good insights.
I guess we should just collect what we like without breaking our budgets. Everyone should definitely stay away from all high-end 1950's cards. Those are pure crap.

LOL, glad I am not the only one that happens to. Want to see an instant spike, post on a few forums you are looking for a specific card.
I have also noticed that EVERY spike in prices is someone(multiple people) manipulating the market. Never buy the "in" hot card because it is all smoke and mirrors to con people. Demand is very easy to create, supply is WAY harder to manipulate.
