I just picked one of these up so I'm happy to see the price, but almost double since the last sell?!? It's a POP 7. One thing is for sure the high grade 1971 HOF's are skyrocketing

    I think 71 9's are more like an endangered bird. Only a few around and not enough to replenish population. That pop report will be that way for a long time.
    Nice card

    I have watched this card go from a Pop 2 to a Pop 7 in like a year and a half. Are other low pop 71's seeing a surge in their populations too?

    For what I have noticed as of lately....scarce high grade cards of popular players/sets are going skyward fast.
    I am looking for a nice 8 of brooksie and watched this auction. It waas also a very nice 9.

    I agree pop report isn't going up much anytime soon. 2 to 7 is a huge jump % wise....but demand is still able to keep prices
    on the rise. I bet most of the increases were 8's resubed.....not raw.

    Congrats to seller and buyer.

    It certainly is pack fresh...I'm not a fan of the diamond cut but that doesn't seem to bug most people....

    Not that I have seen. Kind of weird how a few have popped up of late....but still what a remarkable price

    That left edge is tough for any 9 even a 71 but it still is a nice card.

    Is it me or does brooks look like a Tuesday night softball player in this pic. Love handles, baggy pants, swing and a miss.

    Great player but he must have noticed that he swung and missed in this shot. Topps sure did know how to pic their shots.

    come on now. coulda been a foul tip.

    True. And the guy did give his cleats to someone on the boards when they were young so I shouldn't hammer him.

    You just don't get shots like this one in modern. Love that 70's realism.

    I actually think he's in the on deck circle stretching or warming up or something..

    But check out his fingers. I don't know if it's some weird glitch with the way the photo came out, but those are the longest fingers I've ever seen. Reminds me of E.T.

    Only three guys bid over $2,900.00

    Two of them drop out and your card value drops a lot.

    Two more big spenders join in the future, and your card goes up.

    Tough to predict.


    I do remember a 1972 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 10 pop 1 selling for $10,000.
    When it got to a pop 4 or pop 5, it had dropped to $4,000.

    So I think the POP's do have somewhat of an effect.
