Most of them have worked its way back by now, but I have seen the same general graph a number of times.
I think the moral of the story is that things will take a hit if the market gets whacked but if you are not a short term seller or dealer don't sweat it.
In your research are these 1 pop cards that dropped in value? I find that as the population of a high grade card increases then the value drops dramatically. I think if the population did not increase then the value increased.
