Example
I totally agree that pre-war is much cheaper than it was a few years ago. I recently "bought back" an E104 Nadja Hall of Famer for less than half of what I sold the same card for a few years ago. This was not just the same player and grade, it was the exact same card with the exact same serial number on the SGC holder.
Not sure if we've hit the bottom yet (my guess is no), but the pre-war cards sure seem cheap right now. Also, I think the bargains are with the lower to mid-grade cards more so than with the higher grade stuff. My guess is the deep pockets are not feeling the pain of the economy as much as the average Joe, so the high end stuff doesn't suffer as much from desperation selling nor from the lack of a strong buyer.
