Seems like it’s focused mainly on Patch Autos on both players and MJ Bulls Auto (96 SPX NNO). Then again, my scope is quite small compared to the hobby as these were the only items I’ve been tracking.

Personally, I've been a part of some of the largest deals since 2021-22 over the last 6 months. One card in particular that I was trying to sell for $15k over a year ago, that I got $40k for this year. Another card that probably would have done $20k (but I wasn't selling), that I finally got $50k for. Several times I've taken lots to the guys at Burbank cards and gotten cash outs in the $5-9k range each time at pretty good comps.
There's a bit of an eco-system reappearing after the PWCC crash and it's fallout.
Now maybe you're right that there could be some manipulation in certain pockets. We've seen it before with guys like MJ, Trae, and by my guess, a lot of prospects in baseball year after year. But a whole lot of what's going on is real
