If so, maybe the dealers and flippers have started to reach somewhat of a ceiling on those. Wouldn't be surprised to see that happening where there seems to be no limit to the numbers of "big" cards like these that always seem to be available for sale.
Meanwhile, maybe the focus, and higher prices, is starting to shift to the rarer, harder to find items of these players. Maybe not so much for Mantle and Mays, but definitely seems it could be the for Ruth cards. Especially since the Goudeys were so late in his career. There are tons of earlier Ruth cards for investors/flippers to look to.

I have thought the same thing regrading some of the more main steam bigger cards. I personally am one that switched my focus to the more earlier/rare cards of Ruth/Cobb. To me these are a no brainer in this market and seem grossly undervalued.
