I do wish I'd sold my T227 into that market...Oh well, it is nice to look at.

I held on to some of my key boxing cards, and decided to send PSA my 1936 United Tobacco Joe Louis for grading this week. In about 3 months I should get it back. It looks better than the quick pictures I snapped that are attached. I just snapped them to have a picture in case it gets lost. Just wondering your thoughts on it? Regardless of grade, I think it's a cool card.

Saw a good one today, PWCC so who knows, but a PSA 7 George Best RC at 30K. That's 40x LOL what I paid for mine just a few years back, if that long ago. Madness.

Great card, except it was made in 1940-1941. The album discusses fights in 1940. Some moron labeled it with the early date and it has stuck.

Don't have any comps but:
1. Tiger Woods
2. Michael Schumacher
3. Mike Tyson
4. And I suppose Hulk Hogan

Definitely agree on Tyson. He wasn't even the best of his generation, unless getting KTFO by Holyfield and Lewis qualifies you as the best. His RC is disproportionately costly as compared to those of Holyfield and Lewis, though Lewis' RC is a common as dirt 1991 Kayo.

I don't get it, not only was his invincibility fairly short lived (see Buster Douglas), but he's not exactly an endearing personality either, was involved in personal controversies, etc.

That's a nice euphemism for rape.

Almost everything Formula 1 has exploded in price over the past year. It's a combination of the Netflix Drive to Survive series and Topps now having a license to produce F1 cards. I can't believe how many $10,000+ cards the Topps 2020 set has produced. Even mid-pack runners have some $1,000+ manufactured scarcity/autograph cards from the 2020 Topps set.

Along those same lines, Lewis Hamilton's 2006 Futera pre-rookie card is extremely rare, but I still found the $312,000 sale at Goldin to be shocking. Ditto for the $900,000 sale of a 2020 Topps 1/1 Superfractor of Hamilton at Goldin.

On a smaller scale, Niki Lauda's rookie card is a sticker from the 1974 Vedettes set. Nearly every example in the past year or so has exploded close to the $1,000 range, with higher grade versions selling in the mid four figures. That is shocking to me.

The 1984 Ayrton Senna Panini Scratch N' Play is another example that has gone crazy in the past year, with several examples selling for $10,000+ and as much as $30,000 for a higher grade example.

Another card that has really shocked me is Richard Petty's rookie card from the 1972 STP set. I get it that it is Richard Petty, but this was a $125-150 card even 3-4 years ago. Now, raw sales of $1,200-1,500 are not out of the ordinary when the card does show up.

That one surprises me less than the F1 stickers, it's very hard to find, it's great looking, and it's Richard Petty.
