I wonder with all those newfound cards will cause the market prices for those cards to fall a little. Or not at all.

Go up! When they hit the market there will be a buying frenzy!

Most of those older cards are not rare by any definition of the word. I don't think the market will even flinch for something like that, although great for the original owner and the shop, who both stand to make a tidy profit.

The real strong values will come from extremely high grade copies and scarcities that rarely show up, like the Lajoie they mentioned. I never get tired of looking at the 181 Ruth though.
