Late last year, the same sad thing happened regarding Brooks Robinson, where all of the dealers suddenly had his cards prominently displayed (which they never were before) and put insane price stickers on the holders.
Here's my excerpt about it from my "Observations from the Card Show Front Lines - UPDATED!!!" https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=332207 thread... 4. Dead Centering It’s often been mentioned how Brooks Robinson has clearly been an undervalued Hall of Famer forever. For the everyday collector, the want of his cards centers around a couple of standouts, like his rookie card or the coveted and pricey 1967 high number. Well, after his very recent passing, the number of B-Robby cards sitting in display cases has grown doubly, triply exponentially. It seemed virtually every dealer had Brooks Robinson cards occupying prominent positions in their cases, surrounded by the usual assortment of Mantles, Mays, Aarons, Ryans and Clementes. And we’re not talking about the rare stuff, just the basic 1960s-70s cards. Sometimes effective marketing is depressing.
