Have you looked at your junk wax rookies lately?

A few years ago I sent in a submission to PSA with 5 1985 McGwires and 5 1989 Griffy Jr's got back 8 of the 10 were PSA 8 and 2 PSA 9. I was not happy. This week I sold so far 4 if those cards $85 each .
I also raised the price I had on a Sosa Gamer and it sold.
The reason being the ESPN 30/30 special in the Mcgwire and Sosa HR race in 1998.
Of course I could be wrong and these things keep running up. ..See Mike trout 2011 update PSA 10. People thought a Thousand was alot... now $3,000.00!!
And his red 5/5 2009 auto over $350k plus juice!!
I could understand these jumps if it was after he hit HR 500 or hit number 3k but he has a way to go. I for one hope he continues to slug his way into the record books.But Mcgwire And Sosa borh had extraordinary careers but chose a different path than the one Mike Trout is on.
But maybe Mac and Sosa become the Blacksox of our generation and future collectors treat their cards like we treat shoeless Joe's. Sorry for being all over..

Thanks for link. Look forward to reading. Had just been noticing my VCP daily digest emails were showing insane prices over the past few weeks and figured something had to be up.

Bought these for a song a few years ago. Hard to believe the heights to which their prices have climbed.

I am wondering if this is going to spill over to Football Cards soon. I should jump on the Bret Farve Stadium Club Rookie. I probably waited too long already.
