In my 20+ years of experience, they've never been scarce, but neither has the demand for them, nor, would I expect, will it be in the future. The T206's, 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack's, 1933 and 1934 Goudeys and the "52 Topps are the classic staples of set collecting. Value = demand/supply. Despite the relatively large supply, values will continue to slowly rise (on the more common cards--I personally think rarer backs of upper echelon hall-of-famers will continue to show substantial appreciation) as more and more people collect the set. And they will.
