That seems to be the direction the market is headed, if it hasn't reached that point already.
Throw out the entry .5 and the uber high grades, 8.5 higher, in the middle area, looks about 14K a point, less if the book is skanky, and more, if the book has great eye appeal, IMHO
Agreed. Entry-level 0.5's are approaching 10K per-ticket, and higher graded copies do not come cheap.
In retrospect, I think the 9.2 auctioned off by Heritage was a bargain at $567,625.
It was an absolutely beautiful copy.
With the HG moderately restored Bat #1 going on ebay for +75K, the blue 9.2 certainly looks like a bargain at 570K
it didn't sell...was a bogus bin...
