Jim, it really depends on the card and the pop. For example, Art Fowler and Monte Irvin.

Fowler: pop 27 in PSA 8. Used to be 23, now is no longer the lowest pop 8 in the set. Used to be a $1900-$2000 card. Latest prices:
11/8/07 eBay $1,275.45
11/5/07 eBay $2,359.34
8/24/07 Goodwin$1,188.00
6/23/07 eBay $914.98
3/1/07 eBay $1,055.00
2/15/07 Goodwin$1,326.58
10/26/06 Andy Madec $1,124.70
10/5/06 eBay $1,247.00
7/20/06 eBay $1,888.00

Monte Irvin: pop 26 in PSA 8. This card has stayed pretty steady in pop. Feel free to discount the Memory Lane price and Goodwin:

9/15/07 Memory Lane $4,365.13
8/24/07 Goodwin $3,818.00
8/13/07 eBay Auction $2,725.45
5/1/07 eBay $2,550.00
11/29/06 eBay $2,900.00

The point is that Irvin's pop in 8 has remained staedy while many people submitted and resubmitted Fowlers' in an effort to get another $2000 PSA 8 card. In one year the card dropped in half (discounting one bizarre price which I do not believe to be accurate).
