Was this price a mistake?

A 1979 Topps Lou Whitaker in PSA 9 just sold for $29 from a large seller on EBAY. The most recent sale sold for $127. The card is not easy to find in high grade. In the description there's no mention of a cracked case. Do you think this card was priced correctly or did an error occur?

    Very possible...probably a typo, meant to price at "$129". Great deal for someone!

  • Someone bought it so good deal for them.

    I’d pay $32 if they want to make a quick 10%

    Agree that makes sense. If this was a mistake, and it appears to be, it will be the first mistake I have seen in over a year for the cards/years that I follow.

    Hard to find in a 9? Because the card was never worth subbing and very few folks did.

    Its a $100 card now. There's only 136 PSA 9's and yes its hard to find. I collect PSA 9 hall of famers/superstars from the 70's and I rarely find a legit 9 for sale.

    Sweet Lou belongs in the HoF and I hope the Veteran's Committee finds a way to get him in the building.

    It's remarkable how many cards have risen significantly in value over the years. 15 years ago this card was barely worth subbing at $6 a pop.
