I will be divorced after 21 yrs if that happens. Wifey only knows about the '51 Mantle . There is a strategy to my collecting..... I always love the hunt.

what does a tornado and a collector's divorce have in common?

someone's gonna lose a mantle.

Amazing the rose rookie PSA 8.5 sale of $41k.
From eBay completed sales a rose rookie PSA 9 sold for $28.9k on May 7 this year and I recall a rose rookie PSA 9 sold for $34.9k a few months ago on eBay completed sales.

The same thing has happened over and over again in every Artsy Farty collecting community, in so far as investment vehicles I can only speculate.

It gets saturated by people who care about the price tag, and not the item itself. Once they move on, the dead cat bounce is left to the true lovers of the art.

How far down does it go? Who cares unless you need the money tomorrow to pay your mortgage! At some point people will jump in to pick up the pieces.
