For what its worth I was one of those. I bought exclusively vintage and t206 as a kid\teenager with my Dad in the 80s and 90s. In the last year I have sent maybe 150+ cards to be graded now that my kids are getting into it. Highest graded received were two 5s on t206 cards via PSA and a 6 via SGC.

Dare I say the number of sorta nice condition and better condition raw Cobb's, Wagner's, Ruth's, Gehrig's, Dimaggio's, Ted Williams' and the like is now miniscule.
Are the pop #'s for nice graded T206 Walter Johnson's & Matty's going to shoot up at any point in the future? I'm guessing we're never going to see pop #'s 20-25% more than what we have now, probably less.
Now, beaters and poor condition cards perhaps.
