I think that the question posed by the original poster is segment-dependent. For example, pre-war seems to still be seeing extremely strong prices. Specific post-war vintage, like all things Mantle (especially 52 Topps), most things Clemente, most things Robinson, continue to maintain strong prices. Other things post-war have slid a bit from the mid-pandemic hysteria. Vintage unopened (pre-1980) is still very strong, with 1970's racks and cellos selling high. 1950's-1960's unopened is almost unobtainable. Early 1980's unopened has started a slow retreat, while junk era unopened is in the midst of a collapse. Though I know this part of the board is all pre-war, I think the market is not so specific. Different segments will continue to proceed differently, but for now the pre-war segment seems to be one of the strongest segments in terms of performance.
