Someone asked for more than anecdotes. I can offer these year-over-year median price data for "true" T206 commons (not "premium" commons which are in shorter supply) sold in the last three months or so:
PSA 2: $82 v. $75 (+9.3%)
PSA 3: $125 v. $100 (+25.0%)
PSA 4: $190 v. $143 (+32.9%)
PSA 5: $280 v. $221 (+26.7%)
PSA 6: $510 v. $450 (+13.3%)
PSA 7: $2100 v. $1980 (+6.1%)
N for this data collection effort is around 1000.
T206 prices seem to be tracking right now about the same as they were three months ago -- maybe a slight increase -- after rising substantially earlier in the year. The midgrade market (PSA 3 - PSA 5) seems to be the strongest. This was not true last year when lower grades fared better on a percentage basis.
