I'd tend to agree that this more frequently happens with modern cards.
Everybody remember the Strasburg Superfractor? It sold for more than my house. I bet that buyer is seeing a lot of red ink when he looks at that card, and not because of the Nats road jerseys.
PreWar players are established. You know what their career totals will be, because they're dead. There's a lot of speculation in modern cards. If you ever doubt that, look at the ebay auctions after the next no-hitter, or 3 HR game.
