My response (B) may be biased, but your question may be rhetorical anyways. You bring up a great point of relative value. I think we are all happy and apprehensive over the recent rise, but this is evident more so in modern cards. We have seen some trickle down effect (33 goudey Ruth’s and 52 mantles) into prewar and vintage, but the relative value between modern and vintage (including prewar) has only gotten greater. Means two things, people will identify this and move their overvalued modern junk into marquee vintage cards, or when we get a consolidation, vintage will hold its value much better. Answer probably is both.
