I think for some players the prices have risen to where they probably should have been the whole time. I'm thinking of the extra special guys like Cobb, Ruth, Gehrig, Jackie, etc.
I always thought they were cheap for who they were and just didn't have the money when I was younger to buy them. But I always thought it was pretty cool you could pay $500 to $1,000 and acquire most of the generally easy to find Ruth cards. Even the Bird and Montage E121 cards were super cheap for such a long time.
But then there are the lesser cards that have gone nuts lately and I don't see them sustaining themselves the same way. I think Koufax is overpriced, for example. His rookie was never really all that expensive. I bought a PSA 5 for $250 in the 2008 - 2015 time frame and recently sold it for $1,600.
