The more likely culprit to slow down the boom in these cards are already graded cards that will be brought out of storage boxes and sold. As prices go up, people are more likely to sell. We haven't hit that phase yet though. If anything, copies at market price seem to be non-existent for a lot of 1980s HOFs right now.
I have no idea what your overall point is. You previously said that gem rates are double what is reported by PSA, and that there are 50,000 Gems available. Now you are saying the opposite.
