Oh, I know. I wasn't trying to be a stick in the mud, but I guess it kind of came off that way. And, you're absolutely right, Lou. Nothing should really surprise me. Not only do some collectors have deep pockets, but they've also been collecting a heck of a lot longer than me. It wouldn't surprise me at all if somebody on the forum had a collection passed down to them, and some of those '52 Mantles could have been ones they had graded.

I showed my father the latest copy of The Intelligent Collector from Heritage, and it included a centerfold showing what some of the best auction results were from 2015. There was a PSA 8 '55 Clemente, a PSA 10 '61 Clemente, a '52 Topps Mantle, etc. Dad was born in '47, so he would have collected some of those years. Grandma threw them out.

You and me both. Our lcs in Waukesha (Wisconsin) always had the display case filled with really nice cards from the 60s and 70s, some older. But noooo, I wanted to buy '87 Topps wax. Not my moment in the sun, for sure.
