Where is the market?...is a "crash" coming

[theshowandme]

I will keep buying

[mrreality68]

I believe there are several threads on this including one just a few weeks ago.
But regardless over the long haul there is definitely growth.
Vintage is less risk and more steady than modern.

To most of us who are collectors
1. Buy what you enjoy
2. Try buying the best card you can afford of the card you want and focus on eye appeal, centering etc.
3. Try not to use your charge cards to pay for it unless you get rewards points and can pay it off fast.
4 sharing your collections and things you win with pictures so we can enjoy your collection with you. As we all collect different things and some similar and we enjoy see what others have

Where is the market going?
Are we at a peak?
Are we at a bottom?
Should I buy now or wait?
Should I sell now or wait?
Where do you see the market a year from now? A month from now? Tomorrow?
What cards do you think will gain in value? Retain their value? Drop in value?

What happened to collecting?

Economists have correctly called 25 of the last 6 recessions.

Lucky you..so fortunate to have infinite disposable income and not worry about price.

Don't I wish but not at all the point. The points are these: 1. This has been discussed ad nauseum on a near-constant basis. 2. Nobody here knows the future, it's a meaningless conversation.

The simple point is this. You are the latest with one of countless posts, asking the same question. How or what is the market doing and is it gonna crash? or many, many, variations therein.

No one here can predict this at all. Everyone has pretty much the same market information that everyone else has. So the questions and the answers are all the same. dunno.

It is just tiresome to answer a question that never has an answer to it, over and over again.

Cheers,

Butch Turner.

Yes.

The SCI 500 shows us that prices have been falling since 2021. When are we going to hit the bottom? Nobody knows.

LOL. Could I be any worse than SCR or Geoff Wilson?

Ditto. Even with postwar standard stuff that isn't rare by any stretch of the imagination. The BIN's remain high on most decent looking midgrade slabs, and waiting out auctions with any consistency to get a real deal has never been my strong suit...

Index started in the pandemic by Geoff Wilson, one of the modern investment types with a big online presence. Not sure of the components.
