Poor quality vintage of bigger name Hall of Famers has very strong demand, but due imo to the large supply - people are more patient and looking for competitive pricing.

Mantle and Ruth in particular seem to be pretty hot.

+1. Anecdotally, this is what I've found as well as I've tried to complete a couple of post-war vintage HOF player sets. Spreads are widening on prices of well-centered, strong eye appeal cards graded 2-4, versus lower quality cards of the same grade.

I also collect some modern baseball. Ohtani seems to be holding up well -- even his PSA 9 rookie cards haven't fallen as much as I'd hoped. But the other modern stars feels a bit soft based on my own experience building out player sets.
