What pre war issue has taken the biggest price plunge over the past 12-18 months?

With the economy taking its toll on the vintage card market, what one pre-war issue has taken the biggest hit over the past 12-18 months? If you exclude super low population PSA 8's my vote would be for T201's which now seem to regularly trade at 50% SMR and at times even lower, from Near Mint 7 and down. Has any relatively main stream issue taken a bigger price decline than these cards?

The questions is a good one, but it should be noted that SMR was never accurate for most pre-war issues. It's quite possible it was trading at 50% of SMR last year as well.

prices in the 1933 and 1934 Goudey issues have gone down quite a bit.

T201s and 33 Goudeys have gotten clobbered.

D304's are way, way down....as well as a plethora of other sets.

What has been mentioned, plus I would include D322's. Heck, I've picked-up a few E103's lately at what I would consider bargain prices. A few years ago, I would have had a better chance of winning Teen USA, then finding any E103 in the $100 range.

Lovely Day...
