That’s such a silly statement. First, what does “prices” mean? Prices of what? All cards (whatever that means)? A 1964 common? But more importantly, the only relevant thing to an owner is what price he bought a card at and what price he sells the card at. As Phil pointed out, his purchases were not the beneficiaries of any updraft in prices and so he has a reason to rue what he did. And it is not just cards purchased in 2021. I think Kalamazoo Bats prices are lower today than they were thirty years ago. There is no intrinsic value, there is no dividend stream; values are at the whim of the current collecting public.
