The above respectable raw card just went for 2 bucks, yup a raw ex-mt very respectable copy.... 2 bucks. Slap a number 10 on some plastic and boom....30 grand. Unbelievable!

That's beyond crazy to me. Makes me think of what I could buy with 30k! Certainly wouldn't be card that there's probably over 100,000 of. I have no idea what type of numbers that card was printed in but people I'm sure still have pallets of unopened 1980 topps.
Those wax boxes sell for $900-$1000 each so if someone has pallets of unopened 80 topps wax boxes they essentially have a pallet of $$$$$$

Default Rickey
I wonder if the buyer refers to himself in the third person, much as Rickey did?

Default High grade
That is absolute lunacy to me. Really? I just can't see the value. Give me a stack of 30 low grade wagners, cobbs, cy youngs, Babe Ruth's, etc over that any day! But we all have different collecting goals. And it doesn't have to make sense to me.

Labels are commodities quite independent of the cards. It has nothing to do with the card, really, because outside of the holder, tossed in with a bunch of very strong 9s, I doubt you could tell the difference or pick out the 10, even with a loupe.

A grader at PSA could make HUGE $$$ pretty easily I suspect.

Those labels mint money, so you really do have to wonder exactly what is going on.
