I will agree that the market, as a whole, is a bit soft however in certain sectors it appears to be very healthy.  Recently I sold a York Ruth SGC 70 for $2750.  BTW, for all those holder-haters, that card would not have realized that price unless it was slabbed.  The highest graded by PSA and SGC, people embrace those statistics.  Conversely, a recent Mastro auction had a pair of '33 Ruths in PSA 9 that just tanked - I doubt those will reach the levels they once commanded.
