people are making money on flipping them for sure....happened with houses as well..for awhile..

the 1952 topps lots went for pretty cheap...

Depresses me, a couple years ago a shop owner had a nicely centered 52T mantle psa 5 for 20K (probably would've taken less) and i thought that wasn't bad price at the time....fast forward to 2015 and now this

agree with patrick high end cards are getting to be like art work ,vintage cars.people are buying picassos damien hurst warhol,ferrari aston martin at auctions.then selling them months later at great profits.its good for the market and economy .id say there is more room with the cards.as they are cheaper investments compared to art and vintage cars.i see an upside.vintage toys ,comic books,vintage watches ive done well with lately ,sooo good for the cards octavio.

These sorts of prices are what drove me out of baseball collecting around 2006. When it becomes impossible for me to afford even a lower grade version of so many cards it is a real buzz kill.

it really depends..but if you are set collector for 1952s...maybe there are 30 out of 407 psa 8 cards that go for over 1000 dollars.....just the waterfront properties skyrocketed.

I was pretty happy with the result of the Gehrig RC for obvious reasons. Not so much with the Mantles as I was hoping to upgrade mine. It looks like most collectors will be priced out of even the mid grade examples soon, if they're not already.
