Boy, if there was ever an advertisement for subscribing to VCP this is it. There are two guys beating each other up with $10-15 PSA 9 commons receiving bids upwards of $100. And it's not like most of the cards are crazy nice examples. This is an example, it's going on with a lot of these....

So much for 4SC being overpriced, lol...
I've seen that happening some with the 75 baseball psa 9 commons.
I recently picked up two 75 topps psa 10 cards for $60 each. One is a pop 10,
the other a pop 15.
The funny thing is, if they were both psa 9's and that was the psa 9 pop,
they would bring at least $200-300 each.
I've seen this happen several times with 75 minis over the years, as well. A few new set collectors get involved, or even as few as one person (if it's the right person) and average prices skyrocket. This trend is invariably temporary, though, as those buyers typically cycle in and out of the bidding process whereafter prices once again stabilize or revert to the mean (sometimes even lower). Good time to sell when the iron is hot~not so much to buy, though..

I've been curious about this aspect - what about guy who currently has said card in his collection, but wants to jack up the realized price, either to stick it to the new registry guy, or to inflate the going rate for his own card?
I'm just fascinated that someone is bidding $125 when another card in the same grade (and as good if not better an example) is currently available buy-it-now for 25% of that. Talk about getting caught up in the moment.
I've definitely seen market manipulation like this happen with wacky packages items over the years. In this case it seems more likely to be two new guys having a pissing contest.
Even more indicative that those who are bidding on these cards are new to the set and/or not familiar with true values of these cards. The emotional bidding aspect is a factor, too, and the reason why sellers like PWCC get the prices they do in many cases vs those who price similar cards at a fixed price.

Looks like the 4074 and 406 bidders are the two responsible for these prices.

They bid up a Curt Motton 9 to $158 last week, this week there's a PSA 10 available for $149.99 buy it now!
