The market remains as it has been for much of the last two years. Great stuff brings great prices. Run of the mill stuff goes cheap. Weak stuff rots. I also find that pricing is unstable--things that sell well one week sell for peanuts the next. I'd say we've "lost" the last 5-10 years of appreciation on most cards.
On the plus side, look at the great stuff that's coming to market as some have been forced to start digging deep to part with rarities they'd accumulated. I've seen more really difficult types this year than any in the last several. I'd say in terms of sheer variety of cards available this was the best National I've seen since I started going every year (2004).
