PSA Auction Prices info.....basically no updates at all

I wonder what is going on with this?? Many cards have dozens of sales on mainstream vintage and basically nothing is getting recorded in the AUCTION PRICES REALIZED. This seems to be a complete shift in regards to this. I'm talking about very mainstream stuff like a PSA graded 1976 Hank Aaron with tons of sales; but there are tons of other examples also. I'm just confused at these decisions.

    Not sure if related but for cards which prices have cooled, not updating APR's is a good way of maintaining higher price points and up-charges on grading.

    Food for thought; When prices were soaring the APR's seemed to be updated rather frequently. Now that Bubble Bust* is very much in progress that no longer seems to be the case.

    It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)

    All I know is the APR rate on my account is lower than it was a month ago and I’ve even added a handful of new ones in the meantime. That tells me prices are definitely going down.

    You’re probably correct it makes sense for them to stop posting updates.

    Not seeing massive decreases on 50s and 60s baseball Hall of Famers in PSA 7 or better. Am I missing a crash where I can start affording more?

    If so, is VCP still reliable - may want to subscribe as I have been using the EBay free service for years.

    Yes, vintage is strong. I just don't see the prices updated on PSA site.

    Not too long ago, PSA’s parent company bought Card Ladder.

    Timing suggests that may have something to do with it, though I’m just taking a reasonable guess.

    Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?

    Yes, I figured you meant that.
