Fair point over whether we should define it by dollar volume or numbers of collectors. I am thinking about it perhaps from the perspective of dealers, auction houses, shows that are dominated by 8 and better stuff.
Tom,
Did not intend to show a lack of respect--was just trying to offer an opinion. Its like the ungraded collectors who come on here and talk about the high percentage of psa 8 cards that are altered--its a serious opinion that I vehemently disagree with but those are some of the most interesting discussions on the board. So people vehemently disagree with me--fine.
Yes--I agree that high grade cards would go down in value in a general price downturn--given the long upturn we have had there will be a correction sometime--actually we have seen rolling corrections in price in different segments within a long upturn.
