I think it's already here for the Cowboys vintage rookies I try and buy. Take a look at the 1972 Staubach PSA 9 - high water mark was May, 2015 at $4,450. We've had three sell this year now for $14,050, $10,688 and $17,766.
If you look at the PSA 8 of the same card three sold this year in April and May for between $837 and $858. Since then? $1,200, $3,150, $3,049, $2,050, $3,400, $4,250 and $2,358 all in June and July of this year.
This next PWCC auction will contain a 1978 PSA 10 Tony Dorsett rookie (1 of 12) and a 1951 PSA 10 Tom Landry rookie (1 of 2) and I expect them both to blow the doors off previous high sales marks.
On the basketball side, the 1986 Fleer Jordan rookie had been selling consistently for ~$20k until late March of this year. Then we see between 3/24/16 when one sold for $25,300 a fairly straight line (with a few "deals" in between) run up pto the 6/11/2016 sale at $45,000. Followed up 10 days later by a second sale at $43,700 before "coming down to Earth" in the last two sales - veritable bargains at $38,100 and $34,025 respectively.
Be safe out there.
