barrysloateI think what we are seeing is a slight market shift. A few major collectors have left the hobby, and many others have decided it's a good time to sell. When you take a few key players out, and mix that with perhaps a little too much more material than is healthy (always great to have a T206 Plank on the block; four at the same time is not) you will begin to see a slight shift in the market.
I think we are entering a phase where some, but not all prices, will begin to soften a little. There are still great lots and rare cards that will set records. But not all material falls into that category.
Let's see how things fall after this auction season and see if any new patterns emerge.
