Snookums reaching $10K? That's when you know we've jumped the shark.

I think it'll be a sellers market for the foreseeable future.

I think it is a sellers market until at least early next year.
With the influx of new money coming into the hobby that is helping fuel price and with many sellers selling things they bought years ago and now taking profits it is putting things for sale that many of us have not seen for a long long time and we may not see again for a long time driving many collectors or buy now out of fear of missing out. In addition all the new advertising and cards being in the news to generate further interest.

Perhaps also a factor here is the possibility of another MLBPA strike in the absence of a new CBA. I wasn't collecting in 1994-95; those that were, how did it affect the card market at the time?

Risk Off…. When I see more and more marketing terms as such being used, assets, vaults, aka brokerage account, what Fanatics is doing, along with buying fractionalized shares of high end graded cards I get nervous.

It will most certainly be a seller's market...until I try to auction off something I own, then it will magically turn into a buyer's market and leave me eating nothing but ramen as the tears roll down my cheeks.

Last year I told our financial planner that cards would smoke his picks over the next decade. So far true. My wife actually asked me why I hadn't put more money into cards 20 years ago. Umm, because if I came home and said I used the 401K money to buy baseball cards I'd have been in divorce court?

Yup, all Ruth’s are valuable - babe holding a baby, babe holding a bird, babe holding a ball. You name it, as long as Ruth is on the card, it’s valuable.

I think that the question posed by the original poster is segment-dependent. For example, pre-war seems to still be seeing extremely strong prices. Specific post-war vintage, like all things Mantle (especially 52 Topps), most things Clemente, most things Robinson, continue to maintain strong prices. Other things post-war have slid a bit from the mid-pandemic hysteria. Vintage unopened (pre-1980) is still very strong, with 1970's racks and cellos selling high. 1950's-1960's unopened is almost unobtainable. Early 1980's unopened has started a slow retreat, while junk era unopened is in the midst of a collapse. Though I know this part of the board is all pre-war, I think the market is not so specific. Different segments will continue to proceed differently, but for now the pre-war segment seems to be one of the strongest segments in terms of performance.
