I can recall a few short years ago where every major auction occasioned weeks of heated anticipation on the board. Now they just come and go without barely a comment. Last week Heritage had a three night major auction. Not one comment that I recall. As others have said, just so many auctions. Need a red Cobb? Or a Goudey Yellow Gehrig? Or a Jackie PSA 1 or 2. They'll seemingly be dozens and dozens more. Why get excited.
Most of the fresh blood in the hobby is for modern refractors and the like. My prediction is after the National prices will dip hard in most areas. People will see that there is a lot more excitement for Jasson Dominguez and Tua stained glass refractor cards than there is for Leafs and Goudeys. Not a bad thing for the hobby. It is what it is. I think people are throwing their money away but I thought Amazon was overpriced at $125.
