Agree the good stuff if it really want's to be sold it goes to the big houses. If it want's to be on display for show and tell it sits in showcases for eye candy.

Everyone can offer whatever anecdotal takes they want . . . and none of us knows for sure whether demand for vintage is "up" or "down". Not sure why its even that important.

Well, we’ve got to have something to debate and argue about!

Plus, if you’re planning to make some acquisitions of ubiquitous stuff that can be found every day, then maybe you have a choice between buying now, if prices are headed up, or waiting a bit, if prices are trending down.

Evidently you could care less if your card is worth $100 or $10,000.........since it's not important, why not sell me everything you have for, let's say, $10 ?

"Could not care less"... Just think it through.

when the economy is slumping...so does superfluous spending.

Last weekend, I saw a kid in his 20s drop $6,000 on a PSA 7 ‘86 Fleer Jordan (about a $1,000 overpay) at a show at a Salvation Army in Wisconsin. Cash was FLOWING in every direction and on everything. Prices definitely weren’t crumbling there.

-So that bothered you, but the apostrophes on "wants" you decided to let go?

My experience at the National is that interest is through the roof. This observation is reinforced by activity I’ve seen on other venues. SAllen25- even when your grammar policing is correct, it’s still not on point. Is there a comment in your future that actually hits on the topic? Or can we expect more anally retentive, spotty red ink marks with no substance? Asking for a friend. Trent King

Well as a collector, I am hoping for prices to go down - a lot.

My heirs will want prices to go up - a lot.

The investor wants prices to go up on cards they own and go down (just for a short time) on new cards they invest in.

Or something like that. I guess it's kinda complicated.
