1975 topps psa 9's- What is going on?

Darin

First a Merv Rettenmund goes for $202,
now a Rick Burleson psa 9 sells for $223

If a 75 Bob Bailey, Del Unser, or Tom Grieve psa 9 goes for $200, I'm quitting the hobby!

Enjoy your cardboard.

Not really. The Rettenmund has never been a tough card in 9. Pop of 112.
Burleson a little tougher with a pop of 41.
Low pop in psa 9 for the 75 set are 25 or under, and there aren't many of those left. Rusty Staub and a few others.
I guess part of it could be the Red Sox and Reds effect. Those teams commons seem to go for more, but these prices
are astronomical.

72 Topps baseball is witnessing similarly strong results for higher end common cards.

The 75 Burleson is his Rookie Card - That could add to its "demand/price" because of Red Sox fans "competing" on various registry sets (he was also a "Fan Favorite" back in the day)
Just my thought

I thought your point was only referring to cards on the "List of Most Desirable"? Here you chose to comment on 1975 baseball cards because it might fit your "correction" comments. When I tried to ask you about the 1975 Gervin, you chose to ignore it. Point is, you don't have a valid point...because you pick and chose what fits and doesn't fit.

The lack of true auctions makes a difference. As of this writing, there are 58 "auctions" on Ebay listed under 1975 Topps PSA 9, while in total there are 1062 listings. It seems a lot more difficult to build graded sets currently than in years past, unless you go the route of BIN's.
