Most type cards just need an eBay search for completed sales. Rarities like this card Rickey card depend entirely on who's active on the market at a given time, since a couple of big buyers will drive anything up.)Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-33417873656019123372014-03-13T13:43:28.283-04:002014-03-13T13:43:28.283-04:00I've changed to a different card and noted tha...I've changed to a different card and noted that few auctions close on 1977 Chong cards. Hope you can get $15K for it, as it would reflect an upswing in collectors' appreciation for Rickey.
