Welcome back Greg. I would say that the price increase on cards in general and especially on vintage is due to keep up with inflation. Everyone is buying hard assets these days since your money is worth less today than a few years back. From Real estate to anything hard asset has been the way to go if you want to keep up.
As far as commons also rising in price, it’s simply supply on demand. With a $50 minimum price to grade a card at PSA, I rather go buy the card already graded since very little new inventory has come to the open market as of late on vintage common cards for us set collectors.
For those of us that collect rather than speculate, it’s a bummer of a time but it is also nice to see our collection appreciate in value as most other things have these past few years.
