The card market is soft right now, no denying that. For the variety of reasons discussed so far and in the past (economy, FBI, eBay fees, end of summer vacations, too many auction houses, etc...), collectors, flippers, & whales are holding back and I believe that is impacting prices. However, if you approach the current market with a five to ten year horizon, then it is a fantastic time to be a buyer. That is the approach I'm taking right now and I strongly believe I will do just fine. I've never bought into the theory that once all the baby boomers retire prewar card prices will plummet. As long as baseball is thriving and the population in the U.S. is growing, new collectors will take the boomers place.
Lovely Day...
