A lot of smarty pants here, but common sense should've told anybody that the prices paid during the '15-'16 run-up were WAY overheated.... Such a long history of prices for these vintage cards over 30 years that if you overpaid at this time,---you deserved to get scalped
It all comes down to supply AND demand. The key word being the word "and" obviously. Just because a card is a low pop does not mean it will command high prices, and just because a card has decent pop numbers does not mean it won't sell for strong prices.
Some cards like the 62 Mantle, 57 Mantle, or 53 Mantle are hard to find well centered, without chipping, or with solid corners, or a 54 Aaron which is very difficult to find centered. While these cards are not elusive in a PSA 8 grade if you find one well centered (57 Mantle), without chipping or a line on the border (62 Mantle), with a solid bottom red corner (53 Mantle), or centered Aaron rookie you will name your price.

Always looking for OPC "tape intact" baseball wax boxes, and 1984 OPC baseball PSA 10's for my set. Please PM or email me if you have any available.

It's definitely not surprising that you revived this post... but shocking you don't know that Nintendo made Donkey Kong, not Atari.
Atari was one of the developers. Nice try though!
At least you're on record for not knowing what you're talking about.
So Nintendo made it for the Atari 2600? LOL again, thanks for playing though.
No, while Nintendo CREATED the game in it's original form (an arcade cabinet, which is what Billy held the high score on)... it was Coleco that PORTED it to the Atari. So no, Nintendo didn't create it for the Atari 2600 and neither did Atari.

I think you’re confused about the words “developed” and “created”. Atari developed Donkey Kong for computer ports and released versions on their systems such as the 400/800.
Nintendo originally created the game and let other companies develop it for their respected systems. And like I said, they didn’t create it for the 2600.
Anyone ever see the documentary on the vintage Atari arcade game Donkey Kong called the King of Kong?
This guy who was the best in the world, Billy Mitchell, made a good point about people getting the highest score at certain arcade games by just spending the most quarters and how there’s not a lot of skill in that.
In my best Crisser voice, "This is sad, bro." Just wanted to quote your original statement before any nefarious activities alter history. The end.

Yes! Enjoyed that documentary. I remember a part where his kid needed help w/ potty and he wouldn't leave the game.

So what do you know, in another thread I pointed out how the 1979 Ozzie Smith PSA 10 has been tanking. Now the 1979 Paul Molitor that was a pop 1 that last sold for $5K is now a pop 3 and is listed for $4K or best offer.
People have just been paying for late 1970s cards as if they were in short supply were in reality there are tons of high quality examples still out there to be discovered in factory sealed unopened.
I doubt it will sell for anywhere near to what the original pop 1 sold for. I also looked into a bunch of 1978 cards that had sold for $800-$1000 a year or so ago and now they’re listed for less than $200 and some less than $100.
If you sold during 2016 you did well.
For some people that have too much money to handle I’m sure they don’t care much about longevity of value with some cards they collect but there is no ignoring the facts.
Now if we’re talking about Mantles or other classics that’s with obviously a different story.
I sell in 2017 and continue to do well.
Your statement about 2016 is only valid if you were a short term flipper who got out. Those who got in around 2010......and did not sell in 2016...yLare still doing well given 2010 prices.
