Post War Forecast

[sesop]

The focus of my collection is/are Yankees. More and more I find myself in the post-war realm- mostly '50s, but some '40s and '60s.

I'm curious as to "veteran's" opinions on the market for post-war (mainly 40's through 60s). Any observations of current prices? Any thoughts on the future? How about populations? The pre-war side seems to have good estimates on the overall populations of T206s. How about 50s Bowmans? Are most cards slabbed or are there more raw collectors? Is a raw post-war card on eBay more or less likely to be trimmed as a T206? Any anecdotal/opinion/predictions are appreciated.

Here's one of my favorite post-war cards:



Thanks
