This does not feel normal. The speed of these massive rise in values is not a good thing for the hobby. We are racing towards a bubble. I can see panic selling of intrinsically worthless pieces of cardboard. Hope I am wrong.
Normally I'd agree with you. But when have you seen any kind of crash in card values that you're predicting? Cards have gone down in value at times, including Ruth rookies, T206 prices, etc. But have you ever seen a vintage set crash?
