Of course it would, because the opposite of rise (and not staying the same) is fall. But the only thing that you can truly
know from this is that PSA 8s for 1952 Topps have gone under $100. But.... Fall does not equate to Dying (spelled DYing).
Fall (could just as well) = Market correction, meaning that...
A ) Overpriced cards might not be overpriced anymore, or
B ) Collectors are "over" the idea that TPGs mean anything, or
C ) Some relative of Sy Berger has found 1000s of pristine 1952 Topps hi numbers that Sy gave to her many years ago but were stored in a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wangnalls porch, or
D ) A myriad of other reasons.
I'm not saying that a fall as you noted does NOT indicate dying, just that a fall does not PROVE dying, which should be the point of the term "
KNOW" in the title of the thread "When to
know the hobby is DIEing!"
One could just as easily and esoterically argue that anything that is born or comes into being (such as a collector's market) begins to die the moment of inception. Just picking the nits that need to be picked.
