Bloody hell, they achieved those prices even back in 2009!
Joe said:Well, they did but if that idiot hadn't bid to win and flip them they probably would have ended up selling for far less (and gone to better homes!). It's true that some of those sets had previously sold for far more than the ones Vectis had but they were also in far better condition too.
The hobby has always had big spenders, even 10-15 years ago but the difference between then and now is that those guys were throwing money at real rarities..(the ones you have to do your homework on to even know they exist in the first place!) not AFA 85 12 backs or crystal clear bubble POTF figures! :lol:

Was admiring someone's Biker Scout focus last night. He had proofs, prototypes, print sheets, card samples, miscards etc. Just drooling stuff.

Which is why it cheeses some of us off seeing these self-proclaimed "big shots" with their everyday collections.
