During the pandemic, when people got their stimulus checks, most didn't hang on to them. No, they treated it like disposable income and started buying up collectibles. Nowhere is this more evident right now than in the baseball card market. Still popular by still stinging from the industry collapse a couple of decades ago, prices skyrocketed and have held steady now for over ten months as the product sells out and shoots up on the aftermarket. PSA graded rare baseball cards are shooting up as well, like this T206 Piedmont Cy Young card from 1909-11, on auction today at Heritage Auctions. The Piedmont cards are legendary, and for a while, these were reasonably attainable, including star cards like Youngs. Now though, sitting at $8,750 as of this writing, the numbers are shooting back up. This is a variation of the card, with his bare hand showing, and at a PSA of 7, this is as rare as it gets. Check it out below.
