Well I was at a 3 day show last weekend and it was post Covid all the way.

Mine was a 1 day show and they were cutting deals. Maybe they were trying to make quick money. Going to another 1 day on Sunday.

Anyone willing to auction off a major key these days should prepare to end up below market. CC was lackluster last week and Clink was worse in general. I had a handful of consignments on Clink this week with all going below market except one Romita yellow. This market blows! 

Major keys such as…?

Thinking in terms of the more common ones like BA, CA keys. The big silvers are generally a different story with more immunity to downturns. 

To, me, most of the key ASM’s are holding steady or increasing (exception = ASM 300).

I don’t really keep track of too many non ASM books, but the ones I do are also on the increase, after a previous 20% drop.

You mean the 20% drop ~ late last year? What do you see with 121 122 129 194? I don't know that I'd be too confident auctioning any of those in top grade these days but not looking in on those every day.

I don’t watch 121/122, but 129 recently set record highs for 9.4, 9.6, and 9.8.

194 is holding or showing slight gains in higher grades.

238 is still 30% below its 2021 high, with no recovery in sight.

252 did drop quite a bit, but has recovered to near 2021 highs

That run-up last year on ASM 300 was something to behold.   Peaked at $9200.  Last sale $4500:tonofbricks:
