Are the high prices of T206 scarcer backs coming down?

[smtjoy]

IMO, I think a few well funded collectors decided to work on T206 master sets and bid up all backs they needed. This caused a flood of collectors to sell to get a piece of the action.

As their needs on the master set have gone down to the rarest, it has left a large supply of mid range tough player/back combos with high established prices and no buyers at those levels, setup for a downward price correction. The rarest and/or highest condition will still get great prices and bidding wars.

Reminds me of when the whales were biding up the graded exhibit market a few years ago, prices went crazy for a while, they got the cards they wanted and then there was a downward price correction and the market settled a bit above where it was before it all started.

There are so many variables to consider, it's hard to "pinpoint" certain trends in T206....BB1 summed it up pretty well, and so did a few other collectors....

The Wagner , lets face it, truly drives this popular set, not to mention the beauty and all the other aspects of this "perfect storm" set....

let's leave those factors out....correlation, regression analysis, supply and demand curves, area under the distribution......RUBBISH>>>>
WE CAN DO THAT ALL DAY LONG....

the set , inmho, will only gain momentum over the years....the set will always trend up given the attributes of the monster....

as long as popularity remains constant/increases....

which, is definitely the case...


some "rarer" backs will adjust slightly in the short term, but I see all backs trending up in the future...


ITS A SICK SET...

printer's scraps, the blank back, true freaks will be the "chase" cards of the future yester-year....kinda of bitter sweet for me, as I am watching my beloved cards fall well outta reach.....
