Default Card prices are so crazy now......How crazy are they????
So, card prices are so crazy now that Dean's BINs look like the bargain basement at the local thrift store.

or

Card prices are so crazy now that banks are offering 30 year mortgages on Cobb and Ruth cards.

How do you finish the statement??

Cards, like any commodity, are just a vehicle to reveal a Mans character.

Card prices are so crazy now that when I mistakenly saw a T212 Obak listed for ten million dollars and I immediately clicked "Buy It Now".

Nice... That one used to me mine! Though guess I left about $9,999,300 on the table by selling when I did.

Card prices are so crazy now, that when I tried to take out a loan and the bank asked if I had any collateral, I whipped out my 1969 Reggie Jackson rookie card, PSA 4.

The bank authorized the loan without a further question!


Card prices are so crazy right now that PWCC announced the introduction of a baseball card market daily ticker. (THIS IS A JOKE IN RESPONSE TO THE OP - lest anyone be confused)

Card prices are so crazy Elon Musk is retweeting the latest Aaron sales prices.

Card prices are so crazy that casinos are reprogramming their slots to pay out in Topps rookies.

Card prices are so crazy that Elizabeth Warren wants to regulate them.

Card prices are so crazy now...that if I wanted to buy a car last month, I had to sell a very high grade Mantle card to afford it, but to buy the very same car now, all I have to do is part with a mid-grade Gregg Jefferies rookie card.

Pardon me if this has been used before, but I think the vast majority of us on this board can say, "I am older now; I have more than what I wanted, but I wish I started long ago before I did."

Default The $500 thread
Some time ago we had a thread where a seller would offer a card that he’d be willing to sell for $500. There were some great cards in that thread ( it was done a couple times)

Now, I’d envision the thread going something like this :
PSA 10 -1976 Ron Fairly
PSA 7 - 1964 Ernie Banks
PSA 5 -1957 Robin Roberts
PSA 2- 1954 Duke Snider
Etc
