i agree that we are talking about cards not losing value versus cards that are going up which is a different ballgame.
But again, in a short period of time, whoever was willing to pay the most back then still probably still would be paying the most now. So now its an underbidder on the last action they may of won it. I agree, you cant buy a Mantle now in mid grade and see a profit in 3 months paying the Vig.
With most cards due the buyer premium you will lose 20% if you were to sell the card immediately again. Thus, seeing a card selling for 20% or less to me in one lone re-sell of the same card in a short period of time isnt a trend. But yeah its not like we are talking about a hot card right now i agree.
