Al C.risafulliI don't think it's an issue of the high-grade prewar material drying up at all. I think it's an issue of sellers becoming more educated as to the best way to find the buyers who will spend the most money.
To be discouraged because you can no longer find high grade prewar cards at the garage sale is one thing, but to claim they no longer exist is entirely another; one need only look through the myriad of auction catalogs to see that they're out there. It's just that sellers are better educated at how to get the most for their material.
