1969 Lew Alcinder Topps PSA 9

[1961 Fleer Guy]

But according to that same SMR guide that lists recent sales of cards from that set, this same card in PSA 9 sold for $13,320 in 2015. Going up $60k in one year is just mind boggling.

When you get to the basically the highest grade of a card, its sort of like art. i not familiar with the POP of this card but generally when you are talking about a a rookie card of an elite player back in the day, there could always be a huge jump from psa X to the highest PSA level for that card.... 5-15X times in price between those levels etc...if you told me a PSA 7 went up 10k that i would be shocked..

Call it market manipulator or whathave you. At the National Alcindor PSA 7s were trading between 4-5K. Continued march upward of 200 most significant culturally iconic players. Alcindor/Jabbar is one of them

One Alcindor (from a Chinese seller) was marked at an ASK of $4k.

Where do you get "trading between 4-5k"?

This has been seen lately in cards across the board for the top examples. Why these tremendous increases in prices has been happening has been discussed, but no one seems to know for sure why it's happening. There haven't been a lot of recorded sales according to VCP website, the Alcindor rookie cards that sold in PSA 9 prior to that one were:

4/10/15 Greg Bussineau $13,320.00
2/12/15 eBay $12,209.00
8/24/14 Memory Lane $9,062.88
8/23/13 eBay $6,300.00
8/12/13 eBay $8,766.66
8/8/13 eBay $8,300.00
