CJ 1915 prices taking off -- why?

Greg, this definitely puts a hole in you theory. Maybe it was just an anomaly,
but a 1915 Cracker Jack set just sold for a rather low $26K. Not sure how to
explain this one...

I'm thinking the Goldin Auction was an anomaly. All the cards have back damage which kept the price down. The cards that were graded were all SGC 10 or Authentic.

Agreed in addition to the dubious auctioneer.

Yes, a very weak set plus SGC much less than PSA on these...

Interesting results last night on those dozens of PSA 8s...In general, in sustained the surge in much higher prices for such that have developed over the past six months--but I would stay indicated that surge may be stalling now. I base that on prices for some of the 8s not being much more than the much easier to find PSA 7s in the past few months. Of course, they varied a good deal and people--in general, not always--seemed to be rewarding low pop and centering. Cards that went for "only" about 700 tended to be a bit more common and being off-center. The HOFers all went north of $2000 and usually quite a bit more (with Tinker triple that).

It's also possible that there were too many similar ones offered at the same time so essentially you could get bargains (they would go for much more if sold without so much competition).
