Your memory is either wrong or you were looking at just the initial price and not the final selling price. Rixley has been close to a top 5 pitcher in the game from the start and always above 300K
Prices have absolutely not gone up for the top cards. The very very top cards (perfect Cy, Walter, etc) are flat and the ones just below that (perfect Ripken, Aaron, etc) are actually dropping significantly as new cards like SE Boudreau, SE Walsh get introduced and become the best available at a position.
