Obviously, the demand for Basketball has fallen off while pre-war has increased imo but maybe there is an underlying base of fans willing to pay for that Luka. I think at some point there may be more Luka cards than buyers at which point they would really fall off a cliff.
Meanwhile, those basketball prices sure make the current T206 Plank for sale look cheap.

My totally unsubstantiated take on the basketball card frenzy, completely without evidence, is that some of the NBA players, while quarantined with nothing to do, decided to see who could make the best card collection. They were used to throwing around tens of thousands of dollars at a time, so the prices didn't mean much to them. Once their season was over and they got out of the bubble, they put all their cards in a shoe box and forgot about them.
