More specifically in an auction or even at its peak?

$1,600 seems a pretty high asking price, but perhaps I'm way off base?

Even $500 seems high to me, but he has quite a following being from Mich and playing on the Packers and Raiders.

Don't forget he'll probably be first ballot HOF, that won't hurt his prices either

Yeah his prices have gone up a decent amount past few years. One of the most decorated defensive players of all time.

Thing is though, you won't find another one. So if someone has one for sale im sure there's a few more people out there who'd pay $500+. It's One of his rarest and most desirable RC parallels

Nice to see cards without autographs, jerseys, or patches going for this amount of money

you can thank the far east demand for the basketball counterparts...for the high prices on these cards.

I suppose that may be true to some small extent, but I don't give 2 pinches of sh!t about basketball cards for the most part. That's just me but I think the bigger reason is nostalgia. People who collected or remember these cards from their youth, now have much more disposable income a want to buy these cards now/again. It happens in every collectible market
