Ebay and especially BIN's on nice vintage is usually a museum on a good day, and it's even worse now with the lag of the down market. I would agree that nicely centered cards at all grade levels continue to command a respectable premium. It's kind of like the economy as a whole lately - we've had some ups and downs but still haven't technically hit a recession. The market has softened in that lower grade raw or uglier for the grade graded might be reaching bargain status - but the really nice stuff continues to stay strong.
I'm lucky in that mild to moderate OC has never really bothered me, and I can pickup some deals because of that. (75/25 one way is fine, 90/10 probably not).
Down market from 2020, yes - but it would be almost impossible for it not to be. The fact that it's technically "down" doesn't suggest to me that it's in anyway unhealthy yet.
