When I saw the catalog over 3,000, maybe 4,000 T206's being sold...all the T204's etc. etc. .. it did make me wonder:
Is there ever a turn in this hobby where the vast amount of items auctioned brings prices down or the incredible offerings only lead to new collectors and prices going higher. Or it's just the way it is. I guess supply and demand of the hobby intrigue me. I love the supply here & wish the demand was beneficial to my collecting dreams

True there is much more material available via auction these days but at the same time the websites where dealers listed large inventories of cards for, if not reasonable, at least plausible prices, are mostly gone; and the number of true ebay auctions is down as well; so I think the supply overall is probably about the same.
