Basically agree here.

T206 are the 1988 Topps of the prewar world and likely had a similar run over the years of production. E98 just isn't comparable as it was nowhere close on quantity in circulation. These finds have notable effect on what may have been considered a scarce card or issue, not necessarily a common one.

Now what it does effect is temporary sales prices at the time if they flood the market. If there's 25 serious lookers for a specific card and 25 available, then obviously the auction prices will be low. We all know the supply for T206 is huge and other than a couple cards there are more than enough for everyone who wants one. The supply and demand curve on a plentiful item is much more evident in a short cycle with so many on the market and then levels back as the availability at one time returns to the normal levels.
