Real curious to see National reports

[mrreality68]

Alot of the New Money from people that made money on NFT's, money coming in from Hedge Funds and the likes, Crypto Money is not there as much anymore.

The modern market was flooded with Raw Cards that became graded and added to the inventory and the Famous 1 of 1 refractors etc.

This is a correction in the market but it is still up in most Vintage over Pre-covid so those that were early collectors did well and others if they were strategic and bought right.

Sadly many may still be underwater and I just hope they stayed within their budgets and did not get burned

I don't really think new money NFT or crypto people bought vintage baseball. Modern baseball if baseball at all, but I'm more inclined to believe these people were drawn to Pokemon cards and modern basketball before they ever considered buying a T205.

I'm not going to the National this year, but I'm curious to know if much vintage memorabilia in all sports will be on dealers' tables for sale.

Seems to me people form emotional attachments to pieces of memorabilia and don't move them anywhere near as freely and easily as cards. I know I do.

The current health of the stock market should help both buyers and sellers.

Crypto money IS there, it's just not here in sports card collectibles at the moment. Blackrock Bitcoin ETF, crypto gaming, the Bitcoin halving in 8 months - it's a 4 year cycle in crypto... just wait for '24-'26, the money coming back into cards will be another tidal wave - imho.

Can't wait to see the reports on the great vintage stuff coming out of Chicago though - exciting week every year!

Agree with what most of the first post and list, we are definitely are on a downward trend with modern, been noticing more this summer. Vintage is still strong enough, just not the prices and interest I did see a few years back. Hobby is still strong and hearing many dealers thinking of opening shops or already have. There are a lot more shows in the Northeast as well, so really who knows – still fun and rewarding at the same time - Jimmy

For the longer term vintage collectors here, I'm curious what happened to vintage values when the junk card era bottomed out - did that create a drag downward for prewar and vintage overall also?

Or did vintage prices just hold flat for the most part while junk ere collectors moved out of the hobby?
