Juliethan they have been the past 5 years! I don't think there's any correlation. The prices of the '56 set have either stayed the same or fallen since I completed mine (5 years ago). And (TOOT HORN) I HAVE the '56 Topps set, in mylar, in Vario stockpages, in two albums. Including all dated teams and checklists.
Furthertmore, I'm probably the only person ALIVE who has the '56 Topps set in Mylar (most people who put their cards in Mylar stop at WW2--if not earlier).
Next year will be the 100th anniversary of Fan Craze (all Fan Craze), and while the prices are way, way higher than Lemke's listings, they don't seem to appeal to most serious collectors (except me...and Brian Hodes..unless he's sold all his). I hope to hell there's no correlation...I'd hate to see another big jump next year!

And I'd hate to say what I just paid for a Natio0nal Game Wagner, which lists for $200 in nm.
