2006 w burnished gold sets -- what's up? (the price, but why?)

Lionel

Just noticed a spike in prices for these.

Highest price I've seen for an ms70 set here:

And, someone bidding $10,500 for five sealed sets.

So, someone out there know something I don't? Is something happening with these?

Nobody knows, they seem to be hot 1 week and cold the next .
Until the mintages of the 2007W are known they are going to stay in Limbo which could last forever if the 07 mintage is the same as the 06.
They will take off if the 07 mintage surpasses the 06 until then it is all rumor and wishful thinking.
