What's gone down in price?

[Natswin2019]

I've noticed a lot of off/low grade 50s HOFers have come down in price a bit since last year. Those and the like 2nd and 3rd tier pre war stuff has come down a bit as well.

I get slaughtered on everything I want. Sigh.

These are not down from their price two years ago. Not even close.

Last 2 years. Not 2 years prior
It was down from the peak.

I have been picking these up pretty cheap lately, got a lower grade Mantle for $125, and a Mays before that for $75. It may be because I’m ok with some wear but I am always surprised that they don’t match Topps prices.

IMO we are seeing the FOMO leveling off in response to the volume of cards offered. REA has seven Aaron RCs, 11 Clemente RCs, 8 Koufax RCs. That's not unusual on practically a weekly basis with all of the AHs now. That isn't sustainable in terms of rising prices. The Jordan thing is even worse. Most of the Jordan cards are down 40%-50% since their peaks. A little more sustained weakness and I will go shopping to replace the Jordan cards I sold into the run up.

Once you close the door on the truly iconic cards (1952 T Mantle, 1979 Gretzky, 1986 F Jordan, etc.) from the postwar mainstream, which move seemingly without regard to anything else, it is all just supply meeting demand.

I think the interesting thing will be to ask this question again in 6-12 months. Right now, two years ago is November 2019. When the reference is summer 2020, the answer might be different.

Some items spiked and then went back to previous values. But if you just take the price from 2 years ago and compare to the price now, not much in baseball cards is worth less.
