I think prices will continue to stay strong for the low pop cards even in lesser condition as collectors like myself try and complete the set. I was the winner of the Delehanty and was willing to pay a premium to get what I call one of the "golden 32" in the set (examples with total psa/sgc pops 25 and under). If you look at historical sales data, these cards just rarely ever come to market in any condition. The good news for collectors and possibly bad for investors is that fact that with the latest pricing surge more 14's are being dug out of collections and are being graded adding to the supply. I think it would take quite a bit of added supply to put a damper on the demand as the population reports are 10-20% overstated due to cross-overs and re-grades.
