So, we still have a pandemic and it seems to be getting worse. It must have worked because the market took off like a rocket. Folks were out of work (especially musicians and restaurant workers-often the same people) and the economy was headed for trouble even if the Federal Government was handing out money with reckless abandon to small businesses, large businesses who said they were small businesses and just about everybody else.

I just don’t know how but I will take a crack at it if for no other reason than to entertain.Īt the start of the pandemic, I thought the market, which had been steady and strong, was going to tank. All these things affect the vintage market in some way. Nor with insurrections, climate change and bizarre conspiracy theories. Being a little less than a hundred years old, I have limited experience with pandemics. I come at it with logic and experience but, truthfully, I have no idea what will happen next. Looking ahead is not an easy thing to do and I am making a very strong disclaimer that I don’t have a crystal ball and anything I write is sheer speculation. Hindsight is always 20/20, so it’s a pretty easy thing to do. In part one, I laid out what was going on in the vintage market in 2021 and tried my best to interpret it. Yeah, those black 59 345’s I had would be a nice addition but the six figure price tag isn’t for everybody. This blonde 68 “long neck” 330 is an affordable rarity that would enhance any collection. One offs and rarities have been incredibly strong lately.
