It seems to me that in the past couple of years I have witnessed more cards going in to collections and staying there and fewer cards being "flipped," hence the shrinking of the supply of vintage cards. I also think that ebay is a double edged sword, on the one hand I am happy it exists because living in an area with no card shows, it means access to great cards I would never otherwise see, on the other hand, ebay has brought a growing number of collectors/investors in to competition for these cards. You take the good with the bad, though, and I am glad for ebay. I agree with the above posters who feel that the PSA 7, 8 and 9 market is a bubble ready to break. On the other hand, VG cards will continue to slug along and keep their value. If they don't, who cares? I'll still have tons of cards I love, expensive or not...
