I think there will be lulls or corrections occasionally but I don't think the card will ever fall out of favor by the collector or investor.

2 recent sales, not that they necessarily reflect anything, but these cards never fail to sell no matter how many are available.

Yeah, certainly they aren't garnering the prices like they did back in the summer, but that also can be said about most cards that were selling for huge money back then too.

Like many have noticed "I can't give cards away" currently there is a definite lull happening, imo.

But, being not near as knowledgeable as most on here, is this normal for this time of year, or does this happen occasionally where product/listings slow down?

I have noticed only 3-4 pages on E-Bay of 52 Topps cards where I normally see over double that, or at least 10 pgs of listings.
