Vintage RC price explosion

I do wonder when we ever get back to normal, if the extra cash will be put back into other things. I am lucky enough to have season tickets to our local NHL club, plus our CFL team. I'm saving thousands with no fans in the stands. Add in no travel and lots of time on my hands, I have added a few decent items to my collection.

Eventually, I believe there will be a few less eyeballs following auctions and thus a few less bidders. While there may not be a huge drop, I think there will be, at minimum, a levelling of prices. For lower grade cards of items such as 1979 OPC Gretzky, there will be so many PSA 4's or equivalents that pricing on that type of product will not sustain.

You never know. Past experiences with big price runs is that they fall off but not to previous levels. The PSA 8 Dr. J RC ran up to nearly $10K over the summer and is back down to the $4K range now. It was about $1200 before this started. I don't think we are going to see it back down there absent a really catastrophic outside event that crushes the economy.
