Nice run. That it my assumption as well. I'd throw Cobb, Gehrig, and Jackson in that same group. Lower grade, high eye appeal cards with a greater chance of being unaltered seem the safest long term bet at this point.

The huge premiums paid for some higher grade cards may come down if people realize most have been altered at one time or another. But based on the sales of high grade vintage and modern 9.5s and 10s I have not seen any indication of that as of yet.
