One collector friend told me that he needed a certain card, found it, and paid asking price because in his mind, who knows what the card will be priced at in 6 months or a year later. I am curious if this mentality will continue the year and into 2023.

If the economy softens as many are anticipating (and has already to some degree), we could see a dramatic shift in the market over the next year or so. Or maybe not... who knows. (I anticipate softening across the board, but I've been wrong enough times before not to put much stock in my expectation)
