Last week?

(2017 or 2018, I believe.)

And then what comes after ultra modern? Megamodern? Super Duper Modern?

I can predict a pre-war card market drop. If anyone wants to know when, just let me know, I'll be happy to provide the date/time it will start.

When you see me selling cards, then watch the market drop about 40% or more in a single day...

edited to add, this is my Zager and Evans post!

As with any market, we see the most volatile assets drop first and fastest, the blue chips will lag but will suffer, likely not as bad

Interesting, but this is just a blip in time. In an ideal world, you’d collect data/prices when the first cards were first created and follow them to today’s data/prices. This avoids selectively choosing peaks and valleys of card prices. Outside of this, everything is speculation on everyone’s part.

yes...but this "ideal" scenario you outline is not possible to create?

Not possible to create, that’s true. But to me, better data would be obtained from the time period were card prices/sales were first recorded and preserved. Heck, even data from 5 years back would have much more meaning. The further back the data yields a higher “N” ( i.e. total population in the research sense) which leads to more realistic results.

I’m guessing you’re a dentist, but as you know there’s a reason why medical researchers put more credence in studies that lasted decades rather one that lasted just months ( e.g. Framingham). Stock analysts apply this same concept. And if people are equating cards to stocks then this should hold true as well.
