If you own vintage high grade cards chances are that you are able to sell them for substantially more than you paid for them--the returns on buying high grade sports cards have been spectacular in the last decade.
Any correction in prices will likely be minimal relative to how dramatically they have risen.
Part of this I think is the envy that some holders of ungraded vintage sportscards have of collectors who have bought a lot of graded cards. They are frustrated that they missed the boom in graded sportscard values and are wishing them down(like our friend Joe).
Tough question for many to answer is how could you have been right there in the middle of it and not benefitted financially at all. Its like working for Google and never buying any stock.
