I've been back in the game since late 2012. From what I have witnessed - and it is over simplified - Mantle and tier one stars have steadily gone up (Mays, Aaron, Clemente, and some HOF rookies). 2nd & 3rd tier stars have remained relatively flat. Commons have remained flat or down as more and more people are moving toward star collecting and away from set collecting.
What surprises me the most is that "rarer" cards such as the 54 Bowman Williams and #68 '59 Fleer Williams have not seen increases.
But a PSA 6 '69 Mantle was a $180 card in 2014. It is consistently over $300 now. And for the most part, the PSA 6 price for tier 1 stars in 2015 is now the PSA 5 price and in some cases the PSA 4 price.
