The fact of the matter is no one has a clue what's going on in the sports card market, it's all speculation. The way prices continue to rise I certainly don't see a crash for quite some time, if there is one. The only thing that makes things crash is fear and panic. Right now I have no fear or panic at all.

Modern started the fire, and modern will end it. Same as it was in 1989-1992. The feeding frenzy in modern attracts the easy money newbies and some of them start looking at vintage and putting some of their profits there. Right now there is a terrible bottleneck at PSA, especially on bulk orders. I suspect that people are paying a premium to get a PSA modern card as compared to raw relative to what they could pay when the PSA python finally digests the submissions puppy and craps out untold numbers of PSA graded modern cards, many of which are going to swell the pops of 8-9-10. What happens to prices as the number of available cards swells will dictate much of the rest of the answer, I suspect.
My $.02 is that as the submissions of 3/2000 and on start being returned and listed for sale, the demand will slacken on those cards and prices will stabilize then start to drop. People holding highly appreciated items will start taking profits, and prices will decline. I am keeping the best guys: Ruth, Cobb, Gehrig, etc., first-tier HOF RCs like Foxx, and selling into the rest. Selling my slabbed postwar and replacing it with much cheaper raw, if I replace it at all.

I sold almost my entire collection last year (a good chunk of it pre-covid unfortunately) and bought the cards I could only dream of as a kid. Williams, Musial, Aaron, Koufax, Clemente RC’s, Paige Bowman, my first ever T206’s etc etc. Waited too long for the Mays RC and missed that boat. After deliberating for the past few weeks I finally decided to move my small amount of 80’s RCs even though it seems I missed their recent peak. Selling off those cards will render the rest of my collection “free”. It would cover the costs of my previous collection that funded last years dream purchases. The prospects of that outcome are just too good to pass on. Eddie Murray RC PSA 9, Rickey PSA 9, Gwynn PSA 10, Griffey PSA 10, Trout Update PSA 10, Soto Gold PSA 10. If I ever get nostalgic for those RC’s of my youth I can buy a nice 8 or 9 down the road.
