I think it's a combination of the pandemic as well as "influencers" like Gary V kind of speaking it into existence. Once they started to put some hype behind sports cards as an investment vehicle and a way to make money, it basically turned into a runaway train.
I personally think the gains on high grade vintage HOFers will hold a large percentage of their increase once things start to calm down again. Things like the modern basketball card market, however, I feel are built on sand and are ready to topple at some point. Luckily I was grabbing up some Ja Morant stuff before the pandemic started, and those cards are ridiculously priced right now.
