But I wouldn't be surprised if someone on there charged that amount for ONE whole album. Lol.
I would not either, especially a 7070.

Yes, yes it is.

My apologies. I had initially thought the listing was seriously for ONE Dansco album.

Here's another ridiculous listing. 1200 dollars for ONE UNC 2009 penny? They act as if the no mint mark is some kind of error or something.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/405093676049

Or better yet, how about 1300 for two 2009 lincoln cents?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/356551748815

How about 400 dollars for a garbage condition 1943 steel penny?

Stuff like this is all over ebay. These unscrupulous sellers think if they dress up a common coin's description and make it sound like it's rare, they can fool an unsuspecting person into buying it for an outrageous price.

"Choice Very Good 2016 Lincoln Cent from a huge unsearched estate lot. Minted in historical Philadelphia, this coin has no mintmark, unlike its slightly rarer Denver counterpart. The 4.7 billion mintage means that very few were saved in this condition. The 2.5% copper content alone makes this coin an incredible investment for those who deal in precious metals and think long term. Lincoln cents will soon no longer be minted which makes this coin a worthy expenditure and a true rarity for the future. Bid now and reserve your place in history!"

[Note: the above is a listing I made up. Sorry if I disappointed you. ]

One of the categories that I keep an eye on is bicentennial quarters. I would say that (conservatively) about 95% of the listings for ordinary 1976 quarters are $50-3000. You can buy a pristine uncirculated example in the mint cello for $3 and free shipping. I think most of the listings are by idiots, but we've had some interesting discussions here about whether some of those items represent money laundering or stand-ins for illegal goods.

I no longer block out the sellers names. These are from 10 plus years ago.
