Market manipulation in that the 4.5 did not really sell for 1.5 to 2 million dollars. How did that number get out there? Is it real? Now a few of them pop up on ebay for what seem like bargain prices at half a million bucks. I don't have any clue if that's what is happening, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

I mean, how could anyone be surprised at the shenanigans going on in this hobby?

Anyone recall the T210 Joe Jackson on ebay a decade or so back that "sold" for $150,000 only later to be found to be a sham sale just to set a false market price for that card? This type of manipulation has been going on forever.

There is sure to be an open auction this year......but then people willl worry about shilling

so direct sales are tough to know if real and same with auctions being truly real..so people will complain either way about the reliability of the sale price...it is what it is..
