I was curious about this -- how are sales prices captured in sites like 130point, and how are those sales figures manipulated? Many of my own purchases that I make through sites like eBay don't make it on the comp lists.

I think all they can do is capture final bids but there’s no way to know if anyone paid.

I picked up a Griffey PSA 10 at the Nashville show---there was a lot of vintage cards available too, I enjoyed the show being a nice slower pace than the National.

I picked this up about 10 years ago. I was walking around the Philly Show at the end of the day on a Sunday. I had $35 left in my pocket, looking for the best card I could get at that price. I think I did OK.

Only if I could pick up other cards at 2014 prices…

I was looking at some Ohtani the past couple of days after his great game and the run up is astonishing in many cases -- some easy cards have tripled. I strongly suspect manipulation. There are 34 trillion Griffeys, the prices make no sense to me, I started a thread on this not long ago. Messi too. Just for fun I put my PSA 8 on ebay just slightly above where reported sales have been and not one person even asked about it.
