Seems to me the market for rare types is generally thin right now, while you don't have to look hard to find high grade star cards (at high prices).
I track things like T209-2, E222, T211. T209-2, seems like there's next to nothing, whereas 5 years ago I feel like new stuff would pop up on ebay every month, and a few in the various auctions.
Generally, for those rarer sets you would find a handful of those cards around in every REA auction, etc. Now, it's every other at best. Then, I feel like Heritage has excellent cards, but I'm more likely to see high quality examples of something I've seen 20 times, rather than low quality examples of rare cards I (now) almost never see. Maybe it's just me, but that's my feel for it.
