I have to make one more statement and I truly believe that the shortage of vintage cards is partly a fall off of the new baseball card market today. In my mind, the new card companies have come up with MANY gimicks to hold collectors and the major one is MAKING NEW CARDS LOOK OLD!! Well, you only can do that for so long before people start realizing that the MONEY and enjoyment that they real have is for VINTAGE cards.. and this is why I believe that regional cards are getting much tougher to get... There are only so many cards available and MORE collectors are joining the hobby... I feel in several years it will be much harder and cost much more to get the good stuff if it can even be found... I do agree with most commits that supply and demand and good times and bad but in my mind there is going to be a flood of vintage collectors that
wake up and realize that NEW cards will NEVER replace OLD VINTAGE CARDS....

Best
