I'm sure glad to hear others are experiencing it. I cannot believe the prices.
I decided to fill in some holes in my 70's and even early 80's...9's selling where 10's were just a couple of months ago. Very impressed with the market on these items.
That said, it DOES seem like quality on eBay is scarcer than I can ever remember. I haven't won many cards in May at all...or even April. I'm bidding pretty strong but...not strong enough.

I suppose these things go in cycles? It's more of a stock market vibe than it was when I collected from 1976-2006. Feels like many cards I was too slow on have jumped away from my reality, Lol.
