Ok, we've all been speculating . . . .

Where will the market be in a year? I'm checking back in 2/27/22.

I'm sticking with my stance that in general we'll see somewhat of a correction but the prices on high end vintage will remain strong. Your Lower graded stuff will come more back to earth.

But this is all speculation on my part, I also though Bitcoin was going to collapse and quickly sold my two after they doubled from 400 to 800 some years back. So maybe don't take advice from me

I’m optimistic the COVID card mania will end this summer, when things start to fully open back up. There will be less dollars chasing the same card supply (or even an increased supply if the purely COVID collectors sell off) which will significantly drive prices down.

I can’t see people, who have been cooped up for a year, foregoing a nice vacation, live ballgames, concerts, or other experiences, because they want to sit in their house and still purchase expensive cards. The entire market will significantly correct, even the high-end items, other than the rarest of the rare.

If I were a seller, I think the last call is almost upon us.

I am confident that every card on my want list will increase at a stupid rate and become more difficult to find. I do think that once we have more to spend money on things will stabilize. I don't think prices on the big names are going to correct much.

As long as investor groups have a part in auction houses the high end vintage stuff will keep strong.

A benchmark quality card in our vintage arena - the T206 Cobb red, PSA 5 (no special back) is about $10.k right now +/- for centering. In a year do you all think this card will be more, same, or less?

My guess is this price will stabilize at this point, slightly higher odds of it going up a bit vs. down.

The sheer quantity of post-war actually out there amazes me - never thought I would see in a single auction a dozen '54 Banks, or similar. My guess here is prices may either stabilize, or dip a tad. Might be a time to sell this stuff.

Modern, just can't see it keeping the upswing outside a few iconic cards - Jordan RC type stuff. When I have time after tax season, I will be selling this stuff (getting a PSA sub back soon).

Steve - what do you think?
