Bursting Bubble

My opinion/prediction is we see a leveling off and small decline in the spring and summer when the weather gets better and people get out more and covid starts to fade from front and center of everything.

I also disagree about prewar going up or "catching up". Many, many collectors just see it out of their realm and won't venture in. Also there is no memories or nostalgia associated with it like there is 50's- modern day.

I know I tried to get into pre war about 10 years ago and after 6 months realized on my budget I would likely never have a solid Ruth or Cobb etc. and so I sold all that I had and concentrated on the stuff that you could get most of what you wanted (i.e. 50-70's)

We'll see Chris. There has to be a leveling off on the modern for sure. Going back a year ago, modern went nuts first, then Postwar, then Prewar. Now, it's happening again. Investors will find better value and true rarity in Prewar. I think it's a natural hobby progression to start with modern, and eventually getting to the vintage. In a lot of respects nowadays, vintage is cheaper than modern.
