Dude! Don't take pre-covid prices away from me. I still hold out hope that one day we'll get a little closer to the pre-covid good old days.
If nothing else, I prefer to continue to refer to pre-covid prices just to track how much they've changed. From time to time, you hear someone say that prices have come back down after covid. While that may be true for a few areas, they're obviously way up for almost all vintage baseball.
Comparing current prices to pre-covid tends to help me to get a better grasp on just how much prices are up. For the most part, it's a lot! And in some cases, the spread is continuing to get worse, rather than better.
Worthless virus.
Killing me.
