I like leader cards so much, I wrote an article about them.
I look back at PSA 7 graded copies I bought back in say 2016-2018, and the prices were so insanely low compared to today. I was paying less than $20 each for a lot of them back then. Some of the same cards are going for $75 now.

As a set collector, the rise in cost was sudden, and shocking. They used to be bargains...those days are over! Great examples, thanks all!

Yes, the leader cards used to be silly cheap. Cards with 2 or 3 Hall of Famers, selling for just over the price of a common.

We always collectively called them 'junk' cards (leaders, checklists, playoffs/World Series, etc.) and grouped them together in the back of the box, but they ain't no junk no more (especially your card!).

I just wish that when I was informally grabbing them a few years back I'd finished the job. They've gotten a bit tougher to snag affordably at this point.
