Message: [QUOTE="chugg21, post: 3936523, member: 3360"] The industry blew up during the pandemic and things have went way out of control. The highest priced modern cards have seen their value increase 5-10x in the last year, it's truly nuts. I guess people didn't have things to waste their expendable income on while trapped at home so card collecting on Ebay went bonkers. One of my friends got me back into it right around last March/April in collecting hockey rookie cards and I was able to buy a bunch around March/April and then sell them off 2 or 3 months later and get double what I had paid. Cards have to be graded by Beckett or PSA to be worth a premium now though. And those companies had to shut down for a few months because their backlog became insane. They were getting more cards to grade in a month then they used to get in a year and had no way to get through them. [/QUOTE]
