Hi Greg,

I follow prices on lowgrade e90 joe jacksons and the excessive amount that it went for doesn't surprise me anymore than the last one that sold for an excessive amount, even though this is considerably more excessive.

There seems to be a "this is my last chance to get this card" attitude with this one.

I guess nothing surprises me anymore with lowgrade prices, and the e90 jackson will probably continue to go up.

Two years ago, this card would've went for 1K maybe. Along with the e90-2 wags, they've continued to climb steadily month by month.

Maybe folks saw the price that lifson brought to the t210 jax and they for some reason began to think that the e90 is actually rare, even though it's not remotely rare compared to it.

I don't anticipate ever owning one so I don't pay attention to what they are worth. My point is that there is a real tulip (there's an historical reference for you) mania out there right now about E cards and it leads people to make purchases that seem insane. Of course, if the prices keep rising, who's the really insane one?

John Locke forgives you.
Although the price rise in e cards seems parabolic, it started from an absurdly low base. Compare e card scarcity and pricing to the T206 set. They are good comparables. For a common e90-1, how many copies survive? 200? 500?
Compare that to T206 150 series where thousands survive.
