I agree. The 10's and 9's have always drawn sometimes insane money. But for everyone out there just trying to complete a set, if the 5's and 6's start going crazy, it's going to be hard to afford to be a set collector.

says the 51 willie mays 6 that just hit $15k...

truth is no one in this room knows whats gonna happen.

each and every card is independent.

even from itself.

even in a comparable grade.

yes, not even all 6s are created the same.

"even beutiful 2s command respect", says the 52 mays thread.

Apparently you missed the B/S/T thread here on Net54:

Leon was selling his PSA 2.5 for north of 3k.
I had been looking at this specimen on Ebay, and not totally shocked to see the price, thus it could of went for more.
Its not rocket science here, rookie cards are going thru the roofs.
Just don't look at the grade folks, look at the card!!!!

Previous high price for a PSA 3 is $1,862.75.

Never seen a price jump like this before!

It was $8,800 with 5 seconds or so left and jumped to over $15,000 at the end

That was a damn nice Mathews. A genuinely tough card in that grade especially with that centering as opposed to Rose Koufax etc.

Maybe not crazy, but a 51 Mantle PSA 4 just went over 11k and a 6 for over 24k. Neither well centered. An altered SGC 52 went for 21k. That was a nice looking card though.

It was, and a big price jump at the end as well!

I thought I was crazy paying $7700 for the 4.5 less than 2 months ago. Guess that was a good decision. The back of the 4 wasn't very nice either. I was more surprised the 52 in 2.5 being well centered went for under $17k.
