Rising Tide Lifts All Boats, But . . .

In my very brief time with cards..... I've made the decision that if I am buying and collecting on value and potential to hold my value or even appreciate... I'm gonna stick with t206's (HOF's/and occasional rare backs).... And cracker jacks.

I don't think the market is ever going to fall away for those 2 sets... Much because of the points made in the posts above

Interesting takes.

I've noticed when meeting with the public while buying that there has been a perception that as some of these record prices are realized, that there is some expectation that the prices should have some correlation with an equivalent increase in the set pricing.

Sadly, this isn't the case. At least with respect to average or mid-grade sets, which is a majority of what we see.

Actually I think sets, and near sets, are where the discounted prices might be nowadays.
