Real curious to see National reports

[Fred]

Sounds like back to the future for sports cards, instead of 1985 to 1955 (and back), it sounds like around 1993 to 2023 (and back). History repeating itself with new and flashy sucking wind.

I bet most of the vintage collectors on this board would say they saw this coming a mile away. It always boggled my mind that someone would pay $1M for a new 1 of 1 rather than spend that megabuck on vintage material that is what this hobby is about.

It sounds like a lot of quick buck artists are about to get pummeled pretty bad, really fast - aint gonna know what hit them.

What was selling strong at the National? Anything in particular?

Would agree with you Fred, I'm the furthest thing from a prognosticator, all I care about is building a collection the way I want it, the run up has gotten in my way a bit and changed the dynamic. We won't ever go back to old school collecting prices but one can hope every flipper loses money and goes away so we can get back to the business of collecting baseball cards for the sake of collecting baseball cards.
