Cool Prices are up... but...

Lots of talk that we are in a "COVID Bubble" meaning you have a lot of folks who are stuck at home with not a lot to do. Lots of different cards (esp. HOF's and modern) have rocketed in value over the past 8 months. Also, you have the death of Tom Seaver bumping up the value of his cards.

The big question, will the value keep on going up?

My thought is the answer is no. While the hobby will pick up some new long-term collectors, by mid-June when COVID has settled down and folks get back to their normal lives, you will see a decline in prices.

For the specific cards that you outlines (64-71) there is a lot of inventory out there which I think will catch-up with the demand at some point.

Just my $.02. Of course if I really believed that I would sell my entire collection now and look to buy it back in 8-10 months...
