Let me clarify slightly for the common man.
I had been buying lots of mid grade and up of commons and semi-stars (with an occasional star thrown in for the last few years. Two years or so ago I could buy a lot of cards from the early to mid 60s pretty commonly for about 40-50 cents or less per card. These are consistently going for 70 cents and up now. I have seen some 300 card lots go for $400. Essentially, I believe the market for vintage cards is more competitive than it was 3 or 4 years ago. I can't give a fair reason why, but it's becoming obvious that some of the common prices are rising. As well, cards in the mid 70s all the way up to the mid 80s are going for more as people are seeking cards in high grade to slab.

However, like many trends, the pendulum will likely swing back in the other direction and lot prices per card will no longer exceed pricing on singles. |

Recent sales with Greg Morris were quite surprising, and they were raw, too.

I used to win a high percent of GM's lots. That seemed to stop at about the same time he started sending out his daily 4 PM (est) emails to promote his offerings....and/or the same time the market for raw lots skyrocketed. |

SFMS, I have never purchased from GM, only been a lurker, but I did bid on a few of his cards before they really took off. I was hoping to play for a bit, but high bids were quickly squashed and then some. I was surprised (due them being raw) his 52 Topps cards were doing so well. Some were in pretty good shape, imo.

I am hoping that there is a big swoon 10 years from now. The kids will be almost out of college, the house will be paid for, and I will have some additional disposable income.
My hope is that many of my friends on the board will be looking to liquidate and sell those cards for pennies on the dollar - since the baby boomers are disappearing and forgetting about Mickey Mantle and there are no 30 year old millenials who know who Ty Cobb is! Of course, the reality will be that every card that I will be looking for then will be experiencing all-time highs and every card that I own will be experiencing a market dip. I don't have any plans of ever selling and made the boys promise to hold onto them when I am gone, so the buy price is more important to me than the sell price!
