Ten years ago the price of a common t206 was still roughly the same as a '33 Goudey (on ebay). The ones I was buying anyway. I think the popularity of the newer Topps 206 sets brought new collectors to the originals.
I could be wrong but I saw the same thing happen to CJ's in 2004. I was gettin' commons cheaper before then.
I disagree that a similar rarity from 1910 would fetch 5 to 6x more money. If that were true then the set of George C Millers that sold for 246,000 would sell for 1.4 million if it was 20 years older.
