I'll begin with a caveat that I am not buying anything that was just recently released.
That said...
Almost across the board on the cards I am looking to buy it seems like prices have been pretty soft. I've been targeting HOF Game Used items and I've been pretty surprised to been finding Babe Ruth Jersey cards from some of the early sets (back when companies put the image of the jersey on the back etc.) for under $200. I even found a dual bat/jersey with a pinstripe for under $200. This is a quite a bit less than I recall them being months ago.
On the rookie autograph side I've also been finding the market pretty weak as well. I recently say blue refractors of Stanton and Posey (2 of the hottest names right now) sell for under $400 apiece. I picked up a Posey Gold Ref Auto 9.5 for $1250. Around a year ago I got pretty close to that for a Posey Gold Ref BGS 9, and as a player he's getting more attention than he was then.
Anyone else finding this the case for the cards they are looking at? And if so, any thoughts on why it might be?
