Prices coming down...

[Luke]

So, I've got a noob question for you guys that follow the 50s RCs: Is now a good time to buy a Clemente or Aaron rookie in lower grade, or should I wait a little longer? I haven't been following the market at all lately because I wasn't going to pay the prices they were going for during the run up.

For whatever reason the high end game of RC''s, and their steep rise in value over the last few years, hasn't dribbled down to adding as much value to the lower end of the spectrum, so it seems to me.

I'm waiting for the next recession to buy high end cards. Patience is a Vertue, but it's super difficult when you love cards lol

9s and 10s have always had their own pricing structure and never really impacted the 1 to 8 pricing, in general. These always seemed to be two separate markets from my vantage point. It was not until the artificial market from last year that the 1 to 8 grades moved up in value together with the higher grades, which have now adjusted.

The lower grades are more plentiful so I could see how pricing would not hold on those cards as you go down in grade.
