Vintage Price Trends

Vintage cards — generally pre-1990 — are the blue-chip tier of the hobby, and they price differently from modern cards. Scarcity is real rather than manufactured: high-grade survivors are genuinely rare, so the grade carries most of the value, and even mid-grade copies of key cards hold real worth. The board here tends to move more slowly and steadily than modern categories.

How to read this board. "Avg Ask" is the average current asking price across live eBay listings for that card — not a confirmed sale. "Move" is the day-over-day change in that average. "vs Market" shows how a card moved relative to the average move across the whole vintage category that day — positive means it outpaced its category. A green move means asking prices are trending up; it is not a buy/sell signal or a measure of true market value. These are listing trends, not sold comps.
