The pandemic boosted the hobby overall. In particular there has been an influx of collectors focusing on vintage HOF cards, HOF rookies and complete Topps runs, things like that. I don't know that the two things are connected but the pandemic definitely got more people into the market as people sat home and reimmersed themselves into their hobbies. I think message board like this one and SCN have also caused a spike in interest as collectors try to keep up with the trends.
