I guess the one caveat is the fear of being priced out of something. If I don’t pull the trigger soon on a 33 Goudey Ruth I may never be able to afford one. So maybe it makes financial sense to sell a 55 Clemente and Koufax to get one. But even then I think I’d be more upset about parting with the 55s than I’d be happy about getting the Ruth. I don’t want to break up the band!

There's a lot more investor, new modern collector going into vintage. If you look at how much modern gain last year. This is nothing. They just throwing money they already made in a they think undervalued market.

It all depends on your personal financial situation. If you don't really need the money just hang on and enjoy your cards.

This crazy parabolic increase is being caused by FOMO and easy pay day dreamers. People asking 2-3X actual cards values (VG Mantles at 75k and EX Mays at 25 plus) just seem like desperate attempts to capitalize. Holding off on my big purchases for the time being.

Maybe this isn't the best analogy but I sold my highly graded 8/9s Fleer 86-88 Jordans (Michael James) and immediately bought for same price 6 and 7's and a raw sticker, which are on fire too.
In another deal got a 3 after I sold another 5--and 3 raw stickers. So I'm downgrading but it's not like I'm ever going to be #1 on the registry...and I'm a mid-grade collector at heart. I'm happy when I complete a set.
