I know that this thread is all about modern prices still being crazy.
But are vintage prices any less crazy?

I find plenty of value in most modern cards as well. 99.999999% of modern sells for peanuts.

No, they are just as crazy from all the pumping and dumping. Many vintage cards are 5 to 10 times in price from just 6-8 years ago.

I remember when the breakers were salivating over Zion and how he was the second coming. . . . refractors selling for over a million . . .how did that work out? Got to have a short memory to play this game.

Then around 2020, I started seeing it sell in the $2-3,000 range. I figured some sellers were taking profits, some new buyers were impatient, and soon it would return to normal. Instead, over the next few years that became a $4-6,000 card. Now, Probstein sold one last month for over $8,000, and there's another on eBay right now for $12,000. The buyers are holding on to them as well; before those two, it had been a while since I saw one on eBay. As a buyer, it's the worst of both worlds; not only does he not come up as often, but the prices are much higher when he does. There's one in REA right now in a PSA holder that sold for $3,500 two years ago in a Beckett slab; I'm keeping an eye on it but am fully prepared for it to go out of my range.

It was the same with the Satchel Paige signed business cards. They were a $100 item and the last of them were signed more than 40 years ago.
Today, despite no change in supply, you'll have to shell out $400 or more. |

I can at least justify the price of that though. It's Satchel Paige. He's one of the greatest pitchers to ever play. Why anyone would spend 1000+ on a card of Anthony Volpe is beyond me.

I don’t disagree. It does seem like prices are crazy for everything these days was what I was trying to say. It’s a new normal even in the vintage world. Stuff I liked used to be in my budget even if it meant selling something or saving up for a while. But now I find myself collecting more of what I can still afford whereas in the past I was able to collect more of what I liked. And I've had to accept that I've likely missed my shot at some things.

I agree. Paige is much better than Volpe in many ways.

Yeah, but it's a 1-of-1, haha. (PSA 8 T206 "Magie" sold for $660k @HA, 9/20/18.)
You could buy 660 Volpes, if you could find that many. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk |

There is a change in supply, though, as such things get "collected up." So, no surprise in their appreciation.

Whoops, I thought you were quoting my other post. They are always available so I'm not sure there is a change in supply. I think it's more that people started appreciating Paige more but I'm not sure why that wasn't the case from the start with a personality like him.
