As a collector first I agree. I’d love for low grade Cobb T206s to cost a little under a thousand dollars again.

Although not rooting for a complete collapse to early 1980's levels, I wouldn't mind pricing to come down to pre-covid levels, or at least pre-covid levels +10%, (a much more reasonable increase over the past 3+ years span than what collectors have had to do battle against during that stretch).

Brian P., did you really do this post?? The reason I ask is because it is lacking your customary bit of humor (which I greatly enjoy!).

Thanks Val, and it beme indeed. I did however say 'do battle', which to some might be considered a funny combination of words.

Yeah that’s a better way of saying what I wanted to say. I’m not hoping for a crash I’d just like to be able to buy a pretty decent card for $800 again. Prior to the pandemic the most I ever spent on a card at one time was $2,000 and now I feel like that’s almost a starting point.

I guess it all depends on where you are in your collecting life. If you are sitting on a pile of hugely appreciated cardboard that you plan to sell in the next several years, a crash would not be welcome.

Ideally, I'd like for prices to stay high and keep going up...except on the things I still want to buy.

Might also depend on when you bought.

But agreed that your exit timeline is a big factor. If your exit is measured in decades, and if you (mostly) bought in before the craze, then you’re probably less worried about a 50% drop.
