Vintage, Prewar, 19th C. Never Go Down
I've been going to card shows and card shops and buying "old" cards since 1979 since I was 7 years old.
As Scott B. essentially stated (at least what I interpreted) earlier in this thread, is that the economy rises and falls over time like a roller coaster, but the card market never crashes.
I agree. I just have never seen Vintage, Prewar, 19thC. - whatever you want to call it, but "old" cards just never have seemed to go down, at least in the last 46 years of my collecting lifetime.
I also think these areas of collectables and cards only get more valuable every time there is a work stoppage in baseball. They are already talking about a work stoppage in 27 in MLB.
If this does occur, I predict the prices of "old" cards will only ZOOM much higher!
I just continue to buy what I love, and in the condition that I can afford from dealers and fellow collectors who are willing to work with me on pricing and talk baseball and card history with me.
Happy collecting everyone!
