Al Crisafulli said something that made a lot of sense to me, I'm paraphrasing "it only takes 2 or 3 collectors going after the same set/card at the same time to move a market". It's fascinating to see the money move from market to market quickly and subtly at the same time based on collectors whims. I analogize it to the real estate market since that's my business and I've been through a couple of cycles.
