Vintage Card Prices Exploding

Hi everyone, I thought I'd ask this question here as the shared knowledge on this board is unbelievable! I've noticed that, over the past year, prices on some vintage graded cards have gone through the roof and I was wondering if anyone knew why. For example, a PSA 7 Killebrew RC was a $200-300 card a year ago, and now is pushing $800-900. Also, a 5.5 Koufax RC is now over a grand and was maybe a $500 card one to two years ago. Seems to be the case with all of the big HOF rookies (even a PSA 8 SP Jeter RC has gone from like $125 to $250-300). Who is buying these? Does anyone think it's because interest rates are so low and there's nothing else to do with cash? I'm so curious - I have about 20 cards left to complete my PSA HOF RC set and I've seen prices get so high that it has become prohibitively expensive.

Anyway, I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.

Thanks!

Jim
