And while there's been a decent move in a lot of prices since the shutdown began, I don't think much besides '80s basketball has been even close to bubble-like yet. Other than some exceptions like the ridiculously high-end Trout and Brady rookies, and I'm not sure how much of that is the rarity of those cards. I actually found an old SCD from April '92 the other day and was surprised how most post war vintage (around grade EX/EX-MT or lower) is selling today for the same prices as 28 years ago. The only people laughing to the bank from years ago with those are the ones who have had around PSA 8 or higher material (or the '52 T Mantle).

It has a different feel than the junk wax boom. That made sports cards a total fad for a few years, while this might be more lasting collectibles interest in general. I hope, anyway
Sorry, but I most definitely disagree with you one one point. I started collecting T206's 25 years ago & was paying $20-$25 per card for commons (sometimes as low at $15 for VG-EX commons on Ebay) & around $125 for lower tier HOFers. Prices on T206 have now gone up multiple times over the past 25 years. So, I'd say you are way off, on at least T206's, which is a huge part of Pre War collecting.
