Some auction and some BIN.
Similar story with the other '50s-'70s vintage I watch.

I guess it depends on what you collect. There are far less pre-war cards on eBay than ever before. I just searched "Ty Cobb T206" and there were 22 results for auctions (not buy it now). Of those results, only 2 cards have bids. The rest have high opening bids that people aren't interested in placing.
But five years ago I feel like you would have found 10 or 12 competitive Cobb auctions at any given time, all starting at $1.
