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.

I would tend do agree with this. Commons and low grade cards in general are falling by the wayside. Set collectors are a dying breed. There are a lot more flippers in the game now, too....and higher grade cards sell easier with a higher return so they are more sought after.
