warshawlawOver the weekend I was at a party where a friend introduced me to someone as one of the leading authorities on boxing cards in the world (flattering intro). The first thing the other guy asked me was "Isn't card collecting on the decline?" All the lay press fixates on is the contraction in the shiny crap market. Prices are way up on prewar stuff and way down on the shiny crap for the oldest reason in the world: Supply and Demand. I haven't gotten my 2007 book yet but I'm willing to bet that the prices are already out of date for vintage cards.
