1952T Mantle price drops

It does seem to me too that when the market gets hot, there is less of a premium given for eye appeal. The cards are moving so fast, a 7 is a 7. It probably also has something to do with new buyers in the mix who aren't as skilled at (or interested in) differentiating cards at the same grade. Conversely, in a soft market, buyers have more time to focus on the best available and will still pay up for the right card.

I'm always on the hunt for eye appeal on a budget too:

I agree. I've noticed this as well. I think it may also in part be due to sellers "knowing what they have", and how difficult those cards are to find, and not being willing to budge on pricing.
