I think the prices have been falling since last yr in the fall. I took a big hit on my set when I sold it at auction. Some of the prices were faint in comparison to what I had paid for the cards just earlier last yr. I have noticed prices continue to slide downward slowly since then. There are spikes every now and then. Just enough to keep the market from bottoming out. I will agree with Josh that the cards have fallen since the economy has but the 205's have continued to slide while most have gained some foot hold. Lack of knowledge in the set and lack of collectors are also a good reason for the decline. There is just no invested interest in the set with collectors.

I will say that the rarer backs will and have stayed steady with increases lately. Sold a bunch at nationals for far greater than market values. Only the guys that negotiated got the cards for near market values. Everyone else just bought to get them. May have been the Nationals also
