Sorry Bruce to have spun off topic. Cards that are bucking the downward pricing trend seem to include some sets in which I have an interest, namely the m1014s, m1015s, and Worch Cigars. T202s certainly have dropped, as have t201s. Rare types seem to stay steady in all grades, in my view, although you seem to disagree and I can't say I've charted it with any accuracy.
This subject was discussed not that long ago, as I recall. One theory is that some of the more mainstream sets have been completed by collectors, who then move to other things. Types from these sets, even high grade, are not difficult to find, so some may be waiting until their overall finances are more favorable to buy what will likely still be there.
