Memorabilia seems flat to me. Mania in tickets and some other areas seems well off peak.

Auctions seemingly never end. So much material. Fear of missing out seems to be low.

Industry consolidation in modern and vintage.

PWCC, the name synonymous with collecting as investing has blown up.

The reports will be fun to read. A lot of eye candy to be sure, but how many big ticket items are moving in this market?
I think you covered it. Good synopsis.

I am guessing prices (prices of the asking nature) will be strong. Dealers will report they had the best show ever but most collectors will say they could not buy anything. Lines will be long at PSA. The other TPG will have no lines worth mentioning. I predict lots of flippers on the floor trying to move modern into vintage.
