Rick McQuillanPeter, this is a good question. I have been asking the same question since I received my 2008 SCD last week. I haven't had the time to do a lot of research, but here are a few interesting (to me anyway) findings.
T205's
Near mint commons went from $600 to $700
EX commons went from $90 to $100
But the biggest suprise was the VG's, which I collect, jumped from $35 to $50. I thought that the 2007 VG price was a little light. It was difficult to find solid VG's for $35.
A few higher end T205's
Barger partial B - VG jumped from $120 to $200
Bresnaham mouth open - VG went down twenty five bucks
Cobb took a big jump
Eddie Collins mouth open - VG went from $235 to $300
Gray stats - VG went from $240 to $300
T206's
Near Mint commons went from $550 to $700
Ex commons stayed at $100 - strange
VG commons went from $40 to $50 ($50 for a VG is higher than what people have been paying. $20-$30 is more realistic.)
SL's jumped from $75 to $100 in VG
Jap Barbeau has a typo in the VG price (should be $50-not $200)
Cobb's took a big jump- Red backgroud jumped from $725 to $900 in VG
George Brown Chicago was a common in the 2007 catalog, but now it is double the common price in EX and VG (typo?)
Strangely, some of the VG HOFers have dropped in price.
1933 Goudey's
Virtually no changes. Even the lower end Ruth's, which have been strong lately, aren't changed. The VG common price is much higher than the currrent market price. I can generally pick these up for $10-$15 bucks.
These are the only sets that I collect. Perhaps others will notice changes in other sets.
Take care! Rick
