card with the largest % increase?

If you look at the auctions this last weekend, lower grades were going for higher than off-center cards that carried a higher grade.

It also seems like the '33 Goudey Ruths have started to tick up, with PSA 1's clearing $3k for the more common versions.

I think part of that was that PWCC had six 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinsons ending at the same time (four PSA and two SGC). I was more than thrilled to pick up the SGC 4 for $10,100 in this climate even while acknowledging that it is not well centered. If I had consigned that card I would have been extremely disappointed

Congrats on the pick up! In the market you got the deal of the day!

The correct answer is probably some modern basketball card I've never heard of. But for vintage baseball I haven't seen another that jumped as much or as quickly as the 48 Robinson.

Some of the early to mid 80's football key rookies I've been keeping track of have gone pretty crazy lately.

8's are going for what 9's used to go for, 9's are going for what 10's used to go for, and 10's have gone to the moon.

In some cases it's even more pronounced.

Shane Bieber's 2018 Topps Update PSA 10 was a $20-30 dollar card in July. Going for about $200 give of take now for a two year old base paper card.

I went to see about upgrading my 1952 T Robinson and was shocked to find the low grade cards are over a thousand dollars now. Guess I will hang onto my wreck of an example...

Yep, no '52 T Robinsons below 3000 on ebay lately.

Someone even bought all of Dean's....

And I haven't seen a card that has been trimmed more than the 48 leaf...ALL TRIMMED in IMHO. Each and everyone of them.

You def got about the nicest card possible for the price in this market. It seems like maybe grade 3-4 '48 Robinsons haven't increased at the same rate as the bottom tier or upper tier.

The growing "gotta have the card" aspect has really made the lowest grade superstar key cards do well in the last couple years. People would rather spend 8 k for something that's been through a washing machine than 11 k for your card.

Could never agree on that, but whatever floats their boat

Take a look at what's been going on with Wilt Chamberlain cards. I'm not talking about the super pricey earlier ones, but just his 1974 Topps for this example. Any day of the week, the 1974 PSA 9 seemed to always go for a touch over $100, and earlier in the year I finally bought one when I had a lot of CC points to use. It's cool, because it shows (lists) him as a member of the ill-fated San Diego Conquistadors. The original price (including shipping) was $101.99, which was a tiny bit lower than other sellers.

Now take a look at the PSA 9 sales during the heart of the pandemic (the top of the list is the most recent sales price and the bottom is the 'oldest')...

$396.00
$295.00
$430.00
$449.00
$447.00
$410.00
$700.00
$295.84
$244.09
$229.00
$230.45
$299.00

Yowza!!!

And if you look at ebay, the listed BIN prices range from $575 to $999!!!
