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.

Off-centered cards

2021 Jan-August 21 was the peak....I think we are coming down.

If one looks at modern cards, they'll find dozens of "can't miss" prospects which can be had for pennies on the dollar...when compared to their 2019 prices.

That's probably not what the OP was asking; however, it's worth mentioning.

I recall clearly when people were supposedly paying six figures for signed Jasson Dominguez Bowman cards, a Yankee prospect ("the Martian") who had as of then never played in one MINOR league game in the US. That was sheer 'effiin insanity.

I don’t know if they are down, but I don’t see much interest in the two card Rice Stix set.
