Baseball Cards were a huge craze in the late eighties, early nineties. Then the market absolutely DIED and remained dead until the economy crashed in 2008/09. Slabbed baseball cards (and comics,coins, etc) became an investment choice for many disenfranchised with banks, the market, etc. and it REVIVED the hobby. Record setting prices are now being set daily!

I know you are trying to stir the pot, but the above statement is 100% FACT.

As someone who bought many vintage PSA 8's, 9's, and a few 10's several years ago, the prices these are going for is more shocking than the price of a bitcoin..
