When I came back to the hobby in 1998 I began purchasing T206’s again. Thanks to Barry Sloate (hi Barry) I was able to buy large lots from him in the $2-3K range. I decided I’d just collect portraits so I culled, traded, bought and sold until I have about 200 in the 1-5 range, PSA and SGC both common, HOF’s and semi rare backs. Hadn’t inventoried in about 5 years but last night noted recent eBay sales and the collection is up about 30% since last I checked. Is the high end towing my trailer collection. Is it a recent trend with soaring prices or has it been gradual and I haven’t noticed?
