And I don't know the answer. I hope they will at least hold at current levels for a while since I've bought a bunch at these prices.... But who knows?

In Chicago I bitched and moaned to all who would listen about a common player E97 that was graded PSA 2 and was priced at $500 by a solid dealer not known for insane pricing. Yet later the card was sold.... This seems to raise the bar pretty dramatically on caramel cards. Yet this dealer had other E97s at $300-400 that remained unsold.

Another question for you market-watchers: has ANY category or set of prewar cards truly declined significantly in value over the past five years? I can't think of one.

The T207 "bubble" of a year or two ago may have quieted down some, but judging from Patrick McHugh's results with his set, recent prices haven't actually declined much if at all.

Hope this thread will continue to unspool--
