Default supply and demand

3 factors that seem to point to future lowering of prices:

1 - About 200 new '14 cracker jacks have been graded in just the last 4 months or so, that indicates to me there is still a ton out there raw and pops will not only increase, but probably at a relatively quick pace compared to past few years.

2 - It seems everyone and their brother is looking to cash in on the increased prices, so the the availability of these cards for sale has to be near an all-time high right now and will likely continue if prices don't come down to earth

3 - because of that many set collectors are more easily getting over the hump and will not be needing as many cards.

Unless a fresh new class of set collectors enters the market (and that's not a given due to high cost of entry - even at lowered prices), I don't know how these prices do not come down to more reasonable levels in the coming months and years. Then again, it is perhaps the greatest set in all of card collecting (another topic) so who really knows.

my 2 cents.
