I tend to think that the market is soft. I primarily collect 20's and 30's material with some Dietsche postcards and E93s thrown in occasionally.
I just bought two SGC 60 Gold Medal Flour common cards for $13.00-15.00 each and an SGC 70 Rogell (horizontal) for $40.00. Two years ago, I think I would have paid at least 2x-3x as much for the commons. Like nolemmings said, Worch Cigars are hot, but I can't think of much else in my collecting timeframes. As far as the cause, I think it is the economy. On many of the cards I collect all it takes is the absence on one bidder to lower the price substantially. In the Gold Medal Flour example, I think it was just one additional bidder that made the Rogell go from less than $20.00 to $40.00. Last edited by jeffmohler; 08-23-2010 at 09:24 AM.

With many of the sets that we collect, supply is very limited, so it makes a difference if ten people come in or out of the market. The economy is bad and people are not sure when it is going to turn around. When it does, I am confident that folks will start buying and folks will start selling. I think that the Baby Boomer demography has to be taken into account, but (1) baseball remains a very popular game with younger people and (2) again it does not take many people chasing even the E95's or E120's to make a big difference.
