It will be interesting to see where that auction ends tomorrow. I feel like that will set the new benchmark. Think it tops $6000?

Yeah, I think it tops $7,500.

It's not just Trout though. Prices on everything have been going crazy the last 10 months, it's just that it hasn't reached really reached the US175 Trout yet.

Unopened wax has been through the roof. I haven't seen retail at my local Target since 2019.

Anything with Mantle on it is through the roof. You can barely find a 52 Topps for sale for less than $100,000.

Even the Upper Deck Griffey Jr. card is spiking this week.

I don't think this is suspect, I think it is Trout catching up to the rest of the market.
