That sort of plateau has been typical for the entire 37 years I've been collecting. When I started most commons were 1.50, and were for a couple years. Then they went to 3.00, then I think 5-6. condition got a but more important about then, with actual differences between G+ VG and VG-EX. Before they were mostly all the same price.

I recall a guy at shows who had a binder full priced at $9 each. And selling very few for maybe three years, Then one show I went to look closer and maybe buy a couple and all the VG or better were gone along with about half of the others. They'll be at the current prices for a while, and at some point will have a decent increase.
