Alan UIMHO, the ULTRA-high grade cards do seem to have a high rate of appreciation and sell for some unbelievable prices, but I also believe they have a possiblity of taking a big dive in value due to the following:
-Am I the only one that believes most ULTRA-high grade vintage cards have been altered in some way (pressed, trimmed, cleaned up, etc)? For some reason, it's just hard to believe so many high condition cards could have came out of cigarette, candy packs, etc so nice and clean.
-With the publication of the book "The Card" some of this is coming to light and a bigger more widespread scandal (maybe with the auction houses?) of some sort could really hurt the values of these cards.
