Some prices are coming down but it is mot consistent and sometimes the next auction the prices look like they are going back up depending the bidders and card.
Right now it might seem a little soft for some but is that because of summers auction fatigue? Every summer there seems to be a ton of auctions at the same time plus Nationals and there is only so much money to go around for all those cards. I am finding that as I bid on cards another auction opens with cards that I want more than what I am currently bidding on(wish I could get them all) so I stop bidding on that card or I am not bidding at all until I see what is coming in the next auction so I do not miss out. Related to eBay I find that many people put their collection on eBay just for viewing and not really interested in selling but just a place to show off so they put prices that no one would want to pay. I have seen many cards on their for years and years and literally seen them not only not sell but they raise the price

I think the February to April 2021 period was a peak speculative run in many parts of the market. Prices corrected in the next few months and to me appear to be steady to strong still since then. One reason is that many interesting cards in PSA 8-10s (thinking 80’s hockey and basketball) never gave people reason to grade them and they weren’t readily available before the price runup, so they hit a frenzy but then supply eventually (and PSA backup loosening) caught up and prices took a decent hit.
Of course the more rare and vintage, the less available and its hard to see too much evidence of the correction. Lower grade Ruths are still strong, but some of the prices in that period were a bit high perhaps. Something like a Gehrig is 3(mk) might have been a fever pitch auction, but excepting that, the Gehrig card remains strong. It probably has more volatility than others because it was so neglected for so long and has had a huge run. That said, it’s hard to see that the general harsh repricing of equities and bonds and many assets will not spillover to take some of the fluff out of cards here. Thus far it still seems generally strong.

I would bet the big '52 Mantle at Heritage will help fuel vintage prices. Don't see how the Mantle auction would have a negative affect of nice vintage stuff. I am still having hard time pulling the trigger on similar such cards I used to buy, but now the gap may even widen. My recent motto, "don't sell what you have, just be sure to keep it, 'cause you probably aren't going to replace it."

The Topps era cards that show up most often in the auctions are generally down about 50% from their peak. It's a fool's errand trying to predict what they'll do over the next year, but it's easy to predict that sellers are not going to be extrapolating from the past 17 months of downward slide in setting their prices today.

Check out today's article in the Athletic about the current state of the card market. Good stuff

If looking at the hobby as a whole, not vintage, I'd suggest that MOST cards are coming down in price and the overall market is SUBSTANTIALLY cooling off of 2021's record year. Pretty much everyone interviewed in the story has a vested interest to maintain that the market is healthy despite the recent downturn. Last edited by Ray Van; 07-26-2022 at 01:27 PM.
