Why is this Gold Standard auto selling so high?

[ozballer23]

Usually Calvin Murphy autos sell for an ave of $5, especially his on card ones. Any idea on why this one has gone so high already after just being listed?

They normally target low numbered but cheap cards. The Calvin murphy card fits the description.

That's why I moved away from AFL colecting and stuck only NBA. AFL has a much smaller audience and too many ppl tamper with sales etc

Makes sense. Then I guess they try and sell it to set and player collectors at a premium.

It is probably more so a case of 2 people putting high bids to 'guarantee the win'. I know I have bidded stupid high before as a just in case. If 2 people get the same idea, it can make a cheap card go crazy!

I think I remember xavierty posted a Marcus Camby auto a while ago that went to $110 or something stupid because of it!
