Original photos (particularly PSA authenticated ones) also seem to be quite strong now. While it's harder to make exact comparisons due to lack of grading, I had a more than a dozen photos in the Love of the Game auction that ended last night and (with only a couple of exceptions) the prices were much higher than I would have expected in Feb/Mar/April. Similarly, the two photos I wanted to buy also sold for much more than I believe I could have bought them for earlier.

Photos are (were?) bargains compared to cards. That is definitely not the case now, at least on primo ones. Regardless of PSA 'blessing', they are way up. But not all. Look at RMY last night. Stellar images and well-documented ones were often in four figures, but slightly lesser can go for a few hundred dollars.
