“Someone got a great deal on that”

[Snapolit1]

Why do I think we are going to be hearing a lot of that in the coming months?

Market is totally resetting. Won’t be every item but will be most.

At least we are not modern baseball or modern basketball. Vintage will be fine. Some bumps in the road but fine.

I agree totally.

Hope it resets on some of the cards I want. So far, no such luck...

Vintage aint’ slowin’ down…my suggestion is to buy as much vintage at decent prices - and then continue to buy more - at decent prices…..the “fad” crowd spending hundreds - thousands - tens of thousands - hundreds of thousands and more for post 80 “limited” - “special” - one of ten cards will be begging you to sell your vintage….why anyone would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Brady, Trout and LeBummer “cards” is beyond comprehension….

IMHO

I predict I will be hearing that the card market is about to drop from collectors who want to get more cards, and that I will simultaneously hear that it will inexorably go up, up and away forever no matter what and everyone should go into debt and empty their 401K’s to buy more cards from those who stand to profit from such behavior.

I learned from a longtime board member here who has helped me put together my collection, has givin me a lot of advice, and put things into perspective.

Know what you want to collect and be patient. Collect long enough and you will see these things go through cycles, he's been through a few. Buy what you can when you can and build your collection slowly, sometimes you'll overpay and sometimes get great deals. And the best part about this hobby is the relationships you make.

This is a great post for us collectors. Thanks for sharing Phil.

I don't think in the past 15 years there has been a day when some thread about which way the market was headed wasn't on the front page.

I’d be surprised if this wasn’t the case. The takes seem to be leaning a little more extremist and absurd than normal lately (not referencing the original post of this particular thread).

Not something I give that much thought to. Like Wall St and real estate they go up and down. I have benefited from both and been bitten by both. I like what I own. I will continue to buy at market prices knowing presently the cards might become less valuable in the short term. What I have seen in vintage is that whatever I have overpaid for in the past is worth far more today, even as prices adjust.

LeBron? Brady? How about spending over a million dollars on a Justin Herbert card?

I went to walmart the other day and decided I would go see if they had a box of cards I could open. A year ago you could not find one. Well, there had to be 200 boxes on the shelf. I couldn't believe it. Guess the new card market is taking a hit.

it not really the new cards...cards are like the gum these days..the inserts or 'rarer' version of the base cards are the cards

Going back to the original topic but have no problem with the latter.

Resetting and having some auctioneers bidding up others lots on eBay and elsewhere to buy for their next dates. There are the pitfalls to caution against.

Then, of course, shill bidding.

This thread in songs:

Card values will fall: well it’s too late baby now it’s too late.

Card values will go up: I’m walking on sunshine and don’t it feel good

Card values will stagnate: you’re still the same

I’m a superior collector who just collects for love and doesn’t care about values anyway: We're still having fun and you're still the one

I predict the market will go up or down or stagnate. Some people will get great deals, some will make stupid buys, and some will do nothing at all. We done?

Props for quoting the recently deceased Angela Lansbury as the teapot in 'Beauty and the Beast' - 'a tale as old as time....'
