Less so this time, and I wonder if the rush of mega money auctions for the you-know-who '50's Topps cards has created the perceived need for certain dealers to ratchet up their prices. For example, I saw numerous cases of low grade (1-2.5) T206 Hof'ers like Frick, Beckley and the like with stickers of $600-800. That's a little naughty.

When the blues are running, one can simply toss a shiny object off the pier in Nags Head, NC and catch dinner. if the dealers sense a bull market, prices will rise.
