In other related stuff.... Are 77 Topps Commons really 1.45 or more each?

Sorry, didn't notice they were two different card numbers. Eyes went straight to the Mantle drawing. You would be surprised what sells on COMC. It all comes down to how many are on site, and if people are looking for them and can toss them into an order. Maybe the player is doing an autograph signing and a dealer comes through and buys 50 of his cards from COMC to have available at the signing. Maybe he became a kid's favorite teacher after he stopped playing baseball. Maybe he's an uncle or grandfather now, and his relatives collect his cards.
I sell hundreds of dollars in modern cards of pet dogs on COMC. So it's whatever the market will bear. There are over 5,000 different sellers there. We all seem to have different pricing strategies.
