I have been in this market quite a bit as a seller and buyer over the last 2 years. I believe a low grade (think 1-1.5) raw set will firmly set you back in the 90k range now. I agree some prices have pulled back (I think peak for general non-fancy cards was late last summer). Condition rarities or back rarities will continue to rise. the killer rise will continue to be the real short prints: demmit/ohara stl, lundgren chi, and elberfeld port wash. lundgren and elberfeld BEATERS are 1.5k..... I think southern leaguers have been softer lately, although ryan violat and shags will still set you back uncomfortably.
Goldin just auctioned off a full 520 set last week and it was thoroughly psa 1 caliber throughout....$100k hammer.
