I think vintage is up slightly in the last 12 months, likely driven by a bull financial market. The major indexes are all up 20% and vintage isn’t up by that much. Draw your own conclusions from that. I don’t see us ever getting back to Feb ‘21 prices but I don’t care that much. There’s still enough inefficiency in the market to take advantage of the arbitrage and finance the growth of the ol’ PC. And there are examples of key vintage cards that should grow. Heck, it’s kind of morbid but we’ve seen pretty good short term spikes of cards recently when the player dies. Bill Walton cards went up 50% overnight. Rose cards went for at least a 25% premium at his passing and the Fernando Valenzuela Topps Traded card went bonkers last week upon his untimely passing.
